Le millésime 2017 présente une robe soutenue à assez profonde. Le nez pur et élégant évoque les cerises légèrement kirschées, le cassis, les épices, avec des notes florales, d'herbes aromatiques (laurier), et de léger chocolat. La bouche est élégante, les tanins mûrs et fins, belle structure dense et concentrée, d'un séduisant velouté de texture rehaussée de fruits finement épicés. La finale est longue, bien tenue par des tanins élégants et enrobés, harmonieuse et très persistante (fruits, épices, notes florales). Un grand millésime |

"The 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape is another sunny, beautifully Provençal effort that has a huge nose of garrigue, raw steak, leather, truffle, and peppery spice. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and balanced, it’s not a massive Beaucastel yet it has a classic, Provençal, incredibly satisfying style that will benefit from 4-6 years of bottle age and keep for two decades."

The Grenache and Cinsault are fermented in cement, while the Syrah and Mourvèdre are in foudre. Finely pixellated fruits of the forest aromas with a full bodied but fresh and lively palate. The Mourvèdre element is strong, bringing vibrancy and power. It’s firmly savoury, very dry and dramatic. A seriously structured Beaucastel for the long term. "

"A tremendous effort, might Beaucastel's 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape outshine even the 2016? I tasted a preliminary blend that Marc Perrin said represented 80% of the wine, and it showed ridiculous floral and fresh aromas of licorice, lavender and spice, all backed by tremendous fruit that went beyond black and red and into hints of exotic stone fruit. The final blend will likely contain more than 10% Counoise, the highest proportion ever utilized at the estate. It's rich and concentrated yet silky and lithe, with a fantastically long, elegant finish."
