Summary

The Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes 1996 is a distinctive white wine crafted from 100% Roussanne grapes sourced from vines over a century old, planted in 1909. This rare wine exemplifies a balance of richness and finesse, featuring flavors of honeyed pear, apricot, and beeswax, complemented by notes of chamomile and almond. Its complexity is further enhanced by hints of truffle and nutty undertones that develop with age. The wine is fermented and aged partially in oak on the lees, contributing to its creamy texture and depth. With a tiny production and exceptional character, it stands out as one of Châteauneuf’s most unique white offerings.
