Beaucastel has been on a terrific qualitative roll over the last four vintages, and the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape (which Francois Perrin feels is similar to the 1990, although I don t see that as of yet) is a 15,000-case blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the balance split among the other permitted varietals of the appellation. This inky/ruby/purple-colored cuvee offers a classic Beaucastel bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, roasted herbs, black truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cherry fruit. It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mourvedre-dominated cuvee. Full-bodied and powerful, it will undoubtedly close down over the next several years, not to re-emerge for 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025.

...Brooding, highly complex nose combines dark berries, licorice, minerals, fresh blood, smoked meat, animal fur, truffle and earth. Lush and seamless; an essence of gamey black fruits. A Chateauneuf du Pape with great depth and length. Huge, opulent... Stephen Tanzer's IWC. A Proprietary Blend wine from Rhone in France. 2001 Beaucastel, Chateau Chateauneuf du Pape 750ml

Chƒteau de Beaucastel is a historic property located in Chƒteauneuf-de-Pape, with a philosophy steeped in tradition. Using all 13 grapes allowed in this region, the wines are complex and layered. Notes of dark fruit, black pepper, and truffles mingle for an intense experience. Decant and enjoy.
