Wine Reviews
The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clos de Beauvenir is made from certified organic grapes and aged for 7 months in a combination of 85% demi-muids and 15% new oak barriques. It bursts with aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, lemon peel, white peach, pineapple, melon, pastry, cedar and freshly-cut fennel. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied, vibrant and shows a lively core of fresh acidity. This 2021 white concludes with a bright finish and a modestly salty aftertaste
Lively aromas of acacia, pineapple, melon, ginger and fennel introduce the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clos de Beauvenir. Full-bodied and oily-textured, this muscular 2020 white is more powerful than it is elegant. Give it a few more years in bottle and it will add beautiful tertiary characteristics
The 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Clos de Beauvenir is a blend of 65% Grenache Blanc and 35% Roussanne. It aged for 7 months in a combination of demi-muids and new oak barriques. Unfolding with lively aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, yellow apple, white peach, honey and beeswax, it is a medium to full-bodied, generous white with a bright finish
A refined nose of fresh citron, bay leaves, yellow plums, quince zest, white pepper and hints of mild spices. Full-bodied with impressive volume. It’s vibrant and ample with so many dimensions. It’s extensive and so refined with complexity, tension and great harmony all along towards the very long, focused finish. Drink or hold.
Super-fresh and so dynamic. A lovely brisk acidity propels the tangy lime fruit long into the finish. The oak is quite present but well judged and should integrate after a year or so in bottle. Impressive length and finesse.
