Description

A rare opportunity to taste and compare a bottle of each of these highly rated Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines from the 2004 vintage.

Owned by the Perrin family, Beaucastel can be traced back to 1549 and is one of the few properties to include all 13 permitted varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape. It has a unique signature style that has earned respect from the wine world at large. The wines have elegance, poise and plenty of earthy terroir notes and are capable of extended ageing.

Some tasting notes:

Beaucastel’s proprietors cite the "serene" conditions under the Mistral wind in September, which permitted grapes to achieve full phenolic ripeness without risk, as the main factor contributing to the success of the vintage.

“The practice here is to assemble the wine in the months prior to bottling and impressions at this stage come from the individual cépages. Counoise, a traditional variety that contributes leathery notes, in this vintage revealed an uncharacteristic purity and freshness. Syrah was truly beautiful, deep with a discreet yet authoritative note. It was ripe almost to the point of sweetness, showing refined fruit and beautiful tannins. Grenache was fabulously intense, flowing and exhibiting notes of fresh fruit and violets. Mourvèdre, as always an important contributor here, was magnificent, with a juicy, lush nature, very fine tannins and unusual complexity.”

"Showing brilliantly, with a deep, rich and layered profile, the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape has gorgeous black cherry, earth, underbrush and background meatiness that gives way to a full-bodied, concentrated and pure feel on the palate. A foudre-aged blend of 30% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 5% Cinsault, with the balance a mix of the other permitted varieties, this knockout Chateauneuf du Pape will have another 10-15 years of prime drinking." (Jeb Dunnuck 94, Robert Parker 93, February 2014, www.robertparker.com.)

"Still quite dark crimson. Strong balsamic notes – as though they were going all out for maximum ripeness in this era. Big and beefy. Quite chewy finish after meat extract and blackberries." (Jancis Robinson, October 2013).

The Brunier family has run Vieux Télégraphe since 1891. The estate's vineyards, 60 years old on average, are planted on the celebrated plateau of La Crau, renowned for grape growing in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This terroir gives the wines a distinctive minerality.

Tasting notes:

THE WINE ADVOCATE Robert Parker: 93 points - Drink Date: 2014 – 2024.

"Also classic and aging gracefully, the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is a medium to full-bodied, rich and mouth-filling effort, especially in the vintage. Kirsch, blackberry, garrigue, nori (seaweed/sushi wrapper which I seem to always find in this wine) and ample crushed-rock notes all round out the bouquet and on the palate, it’s nicely concentrated, with fine tannin and integrated acidity. It can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade. One of the benchmark, traditionally run estates in Chateauneuf du Pape, Vieux Telegraphe made an impressive red and white in 2004, both of which are youthful and have another decade of longevity."

"When to drink: 2011 to 2018. Very rich and subtle – like a refreshing cup of tea. Tannins nicely rounded – lovely balance. Bit of alcohol on the finish but a great texture. And some freshness." (Jancis Robinson November 2010).



Each bottle comes from its own wooden case, bought on release from reputable English wine merchants and stored since purchase by me at home in a dark, underground cellar. The wooden cases have only recently been opened, hence the good condition of the bottles.

The bottles on sale are those shown on the photographs. As can be seen, the bottles, labels and capsules are in good condition, with good levels.
