CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2009
Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009
Region: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, France

Rating: 96 points (Wine Advocate), 95 points (Wine Spectator)
When to drink: 2016-2036 (Robert Parker)
Tasting: An exemplary CNDP showing remarkable depth and refinement. The nose presents an array of garrigue herbs, ripe black fruits, saddle leather, and Asian spices, with hints of truffle and earth. The palate demonstrates exceptional balance between power and elegance.
Pairing: This distinguished wine pairs masterfully with Limousin Veal in rosemary sauce, slow-roasted Iberico Secreto, or Poulet de Bresse with wild mushrooms. The wine's complexity enhances dishes featuring wild Ceps or Morels. For cheese, serve with aged Fort Saint Antoine Comté or Pont-l'Évêque. Black truffle preparations highlight the wine's earthy characteristics.
Producer: Château de Beaucastel, under the stewardship of the Perrin family since 1909, stands as a benchmark for traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They maintain the historic practice of using all 13 permitted grape varieties, with a higher proportion of Mourvèdre than most estates. The family's commitment to biodynamic farming, established in 1974, was pioneering for the region. Their traditional vinification includes whole-cluster fermentation and aging in large oak foudres.
Vintage: 2009 represents a superb year in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A warm, dry growing season with beneficial cooling nights led to perfect ripening conditions. September brought ideal weather for harvest, resulting in wines of exceptional concentration and freshness, with ripe tannins and remarkable aromatic complexity.
