2018 Chateau de Beaucastel Roussanne Vieilles Vignes, Chateauneuf-du-Pape 3x75cl

Famille Perrin

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 95

Drink To: 2023-2035

Considered as one of the greatest white wines in France, only 6000 bottles of this wine are produced. It's made with 100% very old Roussanne vines and harvested slightly over ripe. This exceptional wine must be drunk within 3 years or after 15 years. With a very attractive deep gold color, Roussanne Vieilles Vignes offers a complex, opulent nose, with characteristic notes of apricot, yellow peach, and beeswax. The palate develops most elegantly, with a rich, powerful texture, opulence without any hint of heaviness, and perfect balance.

The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes combines luxurious richnessa honeyed pineapple lushnessa with clean, vibrant zest and brine notes to make for an interesting juxtaposition in its youth that demands time in the cellar to meld together into a harmonious whole. In one of the mysteries of the wine world, it will then stay on that plateau of decadent maturity for a decade or more.

Buttery, fleshy, and a very solid backup of apricot and peach melba. Lengthy and succulent and substantial. Such tremendous concentration on the finish, but without being too forceful and headbanging. Delightful to drink now, but could age for decades, on previous form. (RH)
