Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc - 2025

The production of white wine at Beaucastel is limited as we only have 7 hectares of white vines planted. The main variety is Roussanne, representing 80% of the blend.

After a mild start to the year followed by a very hot and dry summer, the 2025 harvest turned out to be one of the earliest in recent years, beginning as early as August 19. Although the vines experienced water stress, the much needed rain that fell between mid-August and late September, 326 mm in just a few weeks, almost as much as during the first seven months of the year, was a relief. This delayed the harvest by a few days, allowing the grapes to reach optimal ripeness and perfect concentration. By the end of the harvest, yields were very satisfactory and the sanitary condition of the grapes was remarkable. The first tastings reveal wines that are particularly fruity, complex, and perfectly balanced, signs of a highly promising vintage.This second harvest in our new winery also enabled us to continue our approach of continuous improvement by conducting various trials: fining of white wines, tests on the filtration of lees, optimisation of pressing, and new methods for integrating stems during fermentation.A harmonious, smooth, and well-organized campaign, reflecting the potential of this 2025 vintage.
