Clos de Beauvenir Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2025
Trade Tools
France / Rhône
Clos de Beauvenir is a walled-in single vineyard that was formerly the castle garden. Plane trees protect it from the wind and provide shade, and a natural spring creates a microclimate that is warm during the day and cool at night. The soil is loamy and sandy with a layer of galets. The hand-harvested grapes are slowly pressed for 3 hours. Low-temperature fermentation takes place in French oak demi-muids and the wine is aged on fine lees for 9 months.
Harvest Note
The vintage began with a rainy winter, ensuring sufficient water reserves. Summer truly began at the end of June with high temperatures and no rain. A heatwave in August accelerated ripening of the grapes. Heavy rains in September hastened the picking of the final grapes. The white grapes show a unique and elegant expression.
Tasting Note
Bright gold in color, this elegant and refined wine offers notes of linden blossom, candied citrus, sweet spices, and a touch of menthol. The elegant finish adds fine woody and menthol notes.
