Chateau de Beaucastel - Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2017 375ml special~carwynselector This year the fruit asserts"At Beaucastel the Grenache and Cinsault are fermented in cement while the Syrah and Mourvdre are fermented in foudre. The result features finely pixellated fruits of the forest on the nose, with a full bodied but mightily fresh and lively palate. The Mourvdre element is strong this year, bringing vibrancy and power. It's firmly savoury, very dry and dramatic. A very tannic year has produced a seriously structured Beaucastel for the long term." 95
