The 2022 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes Blanc is one of the Rhône Valley’s most celebrated white wines, produced from old-vine Roussanne in the renowned vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Crafted by the Perrin family, this rare cuvée is known for its remarkable concentration, texture and ability to age gracefully for decades.
The nose is rich and complex, offering aromas of ripe apricot, peach, honey and citrus peel alongside notes of white flowers, brioche and toasted nuts. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, with a silky texture, vibrant acidity and impressive mineral detail. Flavours of stone fruit, beeswax and subtle spice carry through a long, structured finish that balances power with freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for collectors and lovers of age-worthy white Rhône wines. Its depth and complexity make it a superb match for lobster, roasted poultry, rich seafood dishes or mature cheeses. While already impressive with decanting, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years and beyond.
