Chateau de Beaucastel 2024 Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge

About This Wine

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2024, crowned James Suckling’s Wine of the Year with a 100-point score, marks an energetic stylistic evolution for the estate. Clocking in at a restrained 14% ABV, it trades overt power for tension and aromatic lift, delivering crushed raspberry, rose petals, white pepper, and wild thyme over a bed of ultra-fine, chalky tannins. Driven by its signature Mourvèdre and Grenache core co-fermented with white varieties and whole-cluster Counoise, it balances immediate, airy grace with the backbone to age for two decades.
