CHATEAU DE BEAUCASTEL ROUGE 2003 |

Château de Beaucastel Rouge 2003 Châteauneuf du PapePartially damaged lidThe Perrin family use all 13 permitted grape varieties for their outstanding Châteauneuf (14 in reality, as there are both red and white Grenache). Wonderful flamboyant bouquet. Lots of fruit on the middle palate, finishing with a baked earth taste which is a mark of 2003 in the south. Serena Sutcliffe, MW12 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
