Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape 2000

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2000

A mature classic from one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most revered estates, Beaucastel 2000 stands as a compelling expression of Southern Rhône tradition and longevity. Crafted from Beaucastel’s signature blend of all 13 permitted grape varieties—anchored by a high proportion of Mourvèdre—this wine reflects the estate’s distinctive terroir of galets roulés and its unwavering commitment to balance and authenticity.

Now beautifully evolved, the bouquet is complex and savory, offering aromas of dried cherry, fig, and plum, interwoven with notes of leather, smoked meat, garrigue, black olive, and dried herbs. Hints of earth, truffle, and warm spice emerge with air. On the palate, the wine is fully resolved yet vibrant, with softened, silky tannins, integrated acidity, and a harmonious, layered texture. Flavors of dried red and dark fruits, savory spice, and earthy undertones carry through to a long, nuanced finish.

At peak maturity, Beaucastel 2000 delivers depth without heaviness and complexity without fatigue—an outstanding opportunity to experience a fully mature great Rhône wine from a benchmark producer.
