Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes Beaucastel 2011 is a mature white wine from the Southern Rhône. This wine is made from 100% Roussanne vines planted in 1909, which produce small, concentrated yields. It showcases a rich nose of beeswax, honeysuckle, pear and toasted hazelnut. The palate is full-bodied and textural, with a waxy, opulent mouthfeel that is remarkably balanced by a persistent, stony freshness, ensuring the wine never feels heavy. It provides a fascinating and singular expression, delivering a sophisticated depth of flavour that balances the richness of the variety with a clean, mineral-driven finish that is both structured and incredibly persistent.
