Der Jahrgang
Great vintage,
The year is characterized by the contrast between a extremely hot July, and a very cool august. But also two beneficial rain in the middle of both month.
September was hot during the first half with two rains. They did not hurt the quality of the vintage. We were able to harvest late with the beautiful Indian summer which last until mid October

Verkostung
Red cherry in colour.
The nose is clean on notes of cherry, spices and vanilla.
The mouth is rich, round and presents a very elegant acidity. A perfect balance between fruit and spices.
A beautiful vintage to be drunk now if you like young fruity wines, but this wine has a good ageing potential and should be kept if you like older wines

Bewertungen
"Powerful, with a round, almost creamy core of blackberry and raspberry fruit all layered with cocoa, sweet toast, mesquite and fig paste. Long and rich through the finish. Still quite primal, with lots in reserve. Best from 2010 through 2030. "
"Medium to deep garnet colour. Pretty perfume of freshly crushed raspberries / blackberries with nuances of wet leaves, cinnamon and white pepper. The medium to full bodied palate provides a good concentration of juicy berry fruit countered by medium to high acidity and a medium level of velvety tannins. Wonderfully balanced. Long finish with notes of white pepper. 13.4% alcohol. Drink 2010 - 2030. Tasted August 2009."
"Mid to pale crimson. Sweet and flirtatious. Transparent. Doesn’t taste 14.5% at all! There is fesh acidity here and a certain meat-and-two-veg quality. You could enjoy it already although I’d be inclined to wait for more aromatic complexity to develop. "
"Tiefdunkles Rubinrot, überraschend geöffnetes Bukett, erinnert an Haselnussschokolade und rote Früchte wie Kirsche und Preiselbeere, belebende Frische, ein Hauch von Menthol, saftige Fruchtsüße, bestens eingebundene Tannine, langer Nachhall. Bester Trinkzeitraum bis 2035."
"A crisp wine with a great texture that make this vintage very elegant.

"The 2006 vintage is airy; nice colour, animal notes on the nose, and a balanced mouth between acidity and softness."
"The nose reveals fruity characters, marked by a very aromatic structure which is incredibly present. The gourmet character of this wine gives it great potential and its youth allows it to be enjoyed right now..

"A fantastic wine, the 2006 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du- Pape fleshes out with air and displays deep, earthy aromatics of dark fruit, roasted meat, graphite, mushroom and old wood. In the mouth, the wine displays a medium to full bodied, structured personality to go with a fantastic texture, concentrated fruit and a long finish. If drinking anytime soon this needs plenty of air."
"This wine’s dense plum/ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet perfume of black truffles, camphor, earth, incense, new saddle leather, and loads of peppery, blackberry, and herb-infused, meaty, black cherry fruit. Deep, full-bodied, and dense, with sweet tannin, this explosively rich Chateauneuf is a stronger effort than the 2005, 2004, or 2003."
"Vivid ruby. Spicy, finely etched red berry and cherry aromas are complicated by fresh lavender, herbs and minerals. The palate offers tangy raspberry and cherry skin flavors, with gentle tannins adding shape. Impressively pure, even delicate, with outstanding finishing clarity and length. This beguiles rather than brutalizes; I underestimated it last year."

"The 2006 Beaucastel shows the textbook character of a mature Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It has expansive raspberry and cherry scents with suggestions of succulent herbs, pungent flowers, cigar box and just a hint of earth. Given the high percentage of Mourvèdre (almost a third of the blend), I would have thought that the earthy aspect would have been more pronounced, but that is not the case here. The 2006 is silky in texture, and the suave blend of depth and energy highlights its red fruit along with floral pastille and baking spice flavors. It finishes extremely long and precise, with superb clarity and just a hint of finely polished tannins adding gentle grip. Beaucastel often shows some gamy character when the wines are young; however, the 2006 did not in barrel nor after it was bottled, and there’s no trace of it now. I noted almost twelve years ago that this was a wine that “beguiles rather than brutalizes”, and I’m happy with that assessment today."
