The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine An icon of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and awarded 2 stars by the French wine guide RVF, Château de Beaucastel has established itself as one of the appellation’s most innovative and outstanding estates. Its spectacular terroir of galets roulés (rounded pebbles), combined with an uncompromising pursuit of perfection, produces deep, elegant wines that age beautifully.

A true benchmark, this legendary estate continues to refine every detail to stay ahead. Recent vintages, crafted from whole-cluster fermentations and, in some cases, aged in amphorae, reflect a relentless quest for excellence that remains deeply rooted in tradition.
Wine With 80% Roussanne—a grape known for its richness and complexity—the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Wine once again stands out as a beautifully crafted, expressive cuvée. Its fresh aromas of juicy pear, aromatic herbs, delicate spices, and white flowers create a generous and layered profile. This is a food-friendly white, with a silky texture and a refined bitterness on the finish that adds depth and freshness. Already delicious, it also has the structure to age beautifully over time. Rated 93/100 by Parker.
