2021 Château de Beaucastel Chateauneud-du-Pape, Rhône Valley, France 1.5L MAGABOUT THIS WINE 2021 is a vintage marked by freshness, which is similar to the vintages we had in the eighties and nineties. It is also what we call a "vintage winegrower", human intervention and the care given to the vines were decisive for the quality of the vintage. Marked by climatic vagaries, with an episode of frost in April and interrupted harvest because of rain, this year has indeed required constant investment from our teams in the vineyard.
