Score 92/100 · Drink 2006-2009, Robert Parker, Feb 2006
The 2003 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape blanc exhibits plenty of orange liqueur notes with hints of rose petals and tropical fruits. It has more freshness, but the wine’s light golden color and somewhat evolved, mature style suggests it should be drunk over the next 2-3 years – no later.

About the producer
Chateau de Beaucastel
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate is one of the Rhône’s most famous addresses. With a history stretching back to the 16th century, Beaucastel remains family owned and run, with the fifth generation of the Perrin family – Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cécile, Charles, Matthieu and César – at the helm today.
