Chateau de Beaucastel 2006 - £43.00
Price on from Laithwaites.
''Beaucastel is one of Chateauneuf-du-Pape's - and the world's - greatest wines'' (Decanter) It's hard to overstate the majesty of this wine which is the flagship of one of the finest family properties in the southern Rhone. Organically managed, the vineyards contain all 13 permitted Chateauneuf varieties. It takes real mastery and generations of wisdom to coax layers of flavour out of all them let alone bring them together in such complete harmony. A year in traditional barrels further develops the beguiling complexity. Deep and dark with smouldering black fruit and nuances of bay leaf and thyme. Our precious cases are first come, first served.

One taste of this Gold medal heritage red and you'll see why Andre Roux - a veteran of some 67 vintages - is something of a Rhone legend.Customers first met him in 1973 when we broke the budget with a huge shipment of six cases! Since then he's earned the limelight for the little village of Chusclan, over the river from the more famous and expensive vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. And when he retired in 1990 we had to fly over and talk him out of it on your behalf! Dark purple with spicy forest fruit aromas. Gold medal depth of smoky blackcurrant, brambles and herbs. Drink to 2007. ''The Rhone ... the most exciting of France's classic red wine regions'' Anthony Rose, The Independent.
