Lage
Châteauneuf du Pape, zwischen Orange und Avignon, Château de Beaucastel Rot ist ein 70-Hektar Weinberg.
Terroir
Château de Beaucastel ist 110 Hektar groß, in einem einzigen Grundstück im Norden der Appellation. Das Terroir ist archetypisch der besten Terroirs in Châteauneuf: Kieselsteine auf der Oberfläche, Sand, Lehm und Kalk tiefer im Boden. Die Reben sind alt und wurden organisch seit 50 Jahren angebaut, dies ermöglicht es den Wurzeln außergewöhnlich tief zu wachsen.

Jede Sorte wird einzeln und von Hand geerntet. Die Weinbereitung erfolgt in Eichenfässern für die reduktiven Sorten (Mourvèdre, Syrah) und in der traditionellen Betonbehälter für die oxydative Trauben (alle anderen). Sobald die Milchsäuregärung abgeschlossen ist, mischen die Familie Perrin die verschiedenen Sorten. Die Mischung reift dann in Eichenfässern für ein Jahr vor der Abfüllung.

Verkostung
Beautiful red colour, nearly opaque with a bit of evolution.
The nose is on under-wood, dead leaves, humus and peat.
A beautiful mouth on red fruit, very juicy with notes of Morello cherries. This wine is very complex although the tannins are still present and slightly astringent.
An excellent vintage that can be drunk if you are impatient but deserves to be cellared for a few more years for the tannins to soften.

Bewertungen
"Absolutely firing on all cylinders and with an open, borderline slutty profile, the 2000 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a dream on the nose, showing complex, meaty aromas of black truffle, spice rack, charcuterie, and garrigue. There‟s fantastic intensity here and you can smell this wine as soon as the bottle is opened. Just as good on the palate, the wine sports a medium to full-bodied, ripe profile, perfect balance, and a dazzling finish that has you looking for another glass. I‟m a fan and while this will no doubt continue to shine, don‟t hesitate to pop bottles now"
"Deep garnet colour with a faint touch of brick in the rim. Classic Beaucastel earthy/meaty/gamey nose with an undercurrent of stewed strawberries, Chinese dried plums and soy. Quite elegant on the palate with a medium to full body and a reasonably taut structure of medium to high acidity and a medium level of velvety tannins. Layer upon layer of spices and savoury flavours. Long finish. Drink now to 2024."
"Clean and fresh, bursting with fruit and spices. Full-bodied, it delivers some game, truffle, vanilla notes. It's distinctive and ought to reveal wonderful terroir with age, but for now it hasn't come together. Needs time. Drink now through 2020. 16,665 cases made."
"Zählt zu den wenigen Jahrgängen, in denen sich sowohl Mourvèdre als auch Grenache in Bestform zeigten. Gut gedecktes Mittelrot, ein Hauch von Schokolade, Veilchen und Rose im Bukett, saftige Fruchtsüße, edle Tannine, noch sehr jung, prächtiger Nachhall. Bester Trinkzeitraum bis 2030. "
"This vintage has all the characteristics of a hot vintage. Warm and powerful, this wine is still young and will benefit from a few more years ageing. "
"All velvety fruit, thyme, balsam, lovely balance." [+]
"Imported by Vineyard Brands. 13.5 % Alcohol. The nose bore brighter fruit aromas. Initially the wine was a bit tight with a ripe fruit core, plenty of power, and a fresh structure that gripped the teeth. With extended air the brighter red fruit made way to a young and strong midpalate that was coated with fat. The Becausteal funk surrounded lovely blue fruit towards the finish. **** 2020-2035." [+]
"The 2000 vintage is still a young wine of rare quality, flawless! The nose is very fresh, with notes of chocolate. The mouth is round and reveals ripe fruit, soft tannins and good length.

"This vintage is a true example of balance: expressive and complex, a bouquet of many different fruit. This vintage has remained young and fresh. The tannins are silky and fine.
This wine is very suitable for a drinking now but can also be kept for several years, with a very good ageing potential."

"Starting its decline but absolutely stunning over the first hour, the 2000 Chateau de Beaucastel Châteauneuf du Pape is a wonderful piece of history that blends 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, 5% Cinsault and 15% a blend of Vaccarèse, Terret noir, Muscardin, Clairette, Picpoul, Picardan, Bourboulenc, Roussanne. Right out of the gate the Umami and smoked meat tones impresse with lovely black olives and lighter red fruits all parade on the nose. tapenade, huckleberry, herbs de Provence, and shades of Umami. The palate has good freshness that remained intact over the first 30-45 minute mark after uncorking. Sour raspberry, bandaid, green olives and salty and stony undertones mingle on the palate with rose water and citrus rind undertones. Complex and delicate now, enjoy this beauty over the next few years if you still have some left."
