France | Rhône Valley | Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Grapes: 100% Roussanne (Old Vines)
Style: Age-Worthy, Opulent, Gastronomic White

🇫🇷 A legendary Rhône white—profoundly textural and complex, this is a benchmark for Roussanne and among the finest whites in the world.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep golden hue with hints of amber that intensify with age, showcasing its richness and noble pedigree.

👃 On the Nose:
Elegant layers of acacia blossom, quince, roasted nuts, lanolin, and dried apricot, evolving into notes of beeswax, chamomile, and creamy vanilla as it matures.

👅 On the Palate:
Initially fresh and linear, with vibrant acidity and saline tension. With age, it expands into a lavish mouthfeel—nutty, honeyed, and multidimensional—with flavours of stone fruit, toasted almonds, and subtle spice, balanced by a mineral edge and enduring finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with lobster thermidor, truffled poultry, seared scallops with beurre blanc, or aged Comté.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Remarkably age-worthy. Best enjoyed from 5–25 years post-vintage, gaining extraordinary depth and complexity with time.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
This is not just a white Châteauneuf—it's an experience. With its rare old-vine concentration and capacity to evolve for decades, Beaucastel’s Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is a vinous treasure for those who savour the extraordinary.
