例外的なヴィンテージで、暑い夏、素晴らしい気候と暖かい夜が収穫の終わりまで続きました。ムールヴェードルが素晴らしい年です。
概要
シャトー・ド・ボーカステルはオランジュとアヴィニョンの間に70ヘクタールの畑を所有しています。
テロワール
シャトー・ド・ボーカステルはアペラシオンの北限に110ヘクタールの地続きの畑を所有しています。シャトーヌフで最も素晴らしい典型的なテロワールで、表土は丸い石に覆われ、地中深くには砂、粘土、石灰岩が広がります。ブドウの樹齢は古く、50年前から行なっている有機栽培により、ブドウの根が地中深くまで伸びることができます。アペラシオンで認可されている13品種全てを栽培しています。
熟成
品種ごとに手で収穫します。ムールヴェードルやシラーなどの還元的な品種は木樽の発酵槽で、その他の酸化的な品種は伝統的なエナメルを塗ったコンクリート・タンクで発酵させます。マロラクティック発酵の後、ペラン家のファミリー・メンバーによってブレンドを決め、その後フードルと呼ばれる大樽で熟成させます。

A splendid tile-red colour.
The nose is full of complexity where fruit (Morello Cherry) and the juicy meat character blend harmoniously together.
The mouth has the same notes, very round and fleshy. The final is on roasted coffee beans.
A big wine at its best. To drink.

レビュー
"Perhaps the greatest Beaucastel ever produced. Has the class and structure of a great vintage of Mouton-Rothschild. Deep, inky in color, with intense herb, plum, game and spice aromas, this full-bodied wine has an explosion of fruit and an iron backbone. Try the beginning of next century.--Châteauneuf-du-Pape retrospective. Best from 1995 through 2005. 25,000 cases made. "
"The 1989 is inkier/purple in color than the 1990, with an extraordinarily sweet, rich personality offering up notes of smoke, melted licorice, black cherries, Asian spices, and cassis. Full-bodied and concentrated, it is one of the most powerful as well as highly extracted Beaucastels I have ever tasted. It requires another 3-4 years to reach its plateau of maturity, where it should remain for at least two decades. (Many purchasers have reported bottle leakage (due to a cork problem) with this vintage. I purchased two cases of this wine, but none of my bottles reveal any sign of leakage. A good friend of mine, Dr. Jay Miller, owner of Bin 604 Wine Sellers in Baltimore, has consistently had a problem with “corked” bottles of the 1989, but no leakage.) "
"So delicate and perfumed and yet still well structured on the palate. Seems much younger than the 1990. Graceful, silky, juicy and lingering and hardly any undergrowth or leather as yet. A beautiful wine."
"This wine is now at its best, revealing finesse and roundness with a persistent mouth and great length.
Stand the bottle upright 48 hours before serving to avoid any deposit.

"Perfectly medium ruby in the glass, this wine smells of bacon fat, cedar, and garrigue, with a hint of redcurrant fruit. In the mouth gorgeous flavors of exotic woods, smoked meats, raspberries, cherry and wet stones swirl in a beautiful melange. Incredible breadth and length, with a phenomenal seamlessness and balance. Stunning mineral and cedar finish. "
"The nose combines freshness and rich vegetation. Silky and ample, the mouth has character with a beautiful tenseness, fruity notes and a spicy finish. It accurately represents the expression of the terroir and the appellation.
To keep for an evolution of its characters, but it is also a great wine to serve with a gastronomic meal."

"This is a floral and elegantly complex edition of this wine with dried meat and leather, iron and graphite, tobacco and dry spices. More elegant palate than the 1990, it has a very fine stream of red fruit and spiced cherries and a central, linear focus. The flavors hold so very long, deeply concentrated and focused. The fruit livens up at the finish and opens very impressively. Drink now."
