Similar in color to the classic white, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is deeper and richer, with more viscosity, glycerin and minerality. Loaded with notes of buttered citrus, flowers, orange marmalade and crushed-rock nuances, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied power, juicy, lively acidity and terrific length... It's unquestionably the greatest white wine coming from the Southern RhOne, and while I prefer to drink it in its first 4-6 years, it can evolve for decades. eRobertParker.com

Decanted 2hrs+ yet still a bit tight. Screaming acidity for Roussanne, viscous and weighty

Super fun. Layers of honey suckle, stone fruit and Galet. Slightly perfectly oxidative. By the glass at #wallysBH

Encore une fois Beaucastel vieilles vignes me séduit. Même si le nez et ses arômes de miel et de poire confite sont délicieux, c’est sa puissance, son gras, sa texture qui m’attire le plus.
