Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape 1998 Magnum

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1998 Magnum is a classic expression of one of the Rhône Valley’s most celebrated estates, offered here in magnum format for even greater aging potential and elegance. Built on a blend of Cinsault, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah, it reflects both the depth of the vintage and the house’s long-standing commitment to tradition and quality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a deep ruby color that hints at its maturity and concentration. The nose opens with layered aromas of dark berries, black cherry, spice, dried herbs and a subtle leather note, gradually unfolding with more complexity in the glass. The palate is full-bodied and finely balanced, combining ripe black fruit with black pepper, earthy herb tones and a touch of chocolate. The finish is long, graceful and persistent, with the structure and harmony to continue developing beautifully over time, especially in magnum format.

Production
Beaucastel’s vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape are rooted in the stony, sun-drenched terroir of the southern Rhône, where the warmth of the Mediterranean and well-draining soils help create wines of power and finesse. Harvesting is carried out with a strong focus on fruit quality, and vinification follows a traditional approach that respects the character of each grape variety before blending them into a polished whole.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for braised lamb, roast game, grilled steak or other richly flavored meat dishes, and it also pairs beautifully with a mature cheese selection. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if the wine is recently opened, allowing its aromatic layers and texture to fully open.

Producer
