Château de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Coudoulet Blanc 0.75 2020

Region : AOC Côtes du Rhône       Within the Côtes du Rhône appellation, adjoining the vines of Château de Beaucastel, between Orange and Avignon. The vineyard of the Coudoulet de Beaucastel Blanc is 3 hectares (6 acres) in size.       Grape varieties : Bourboulenc, Marsanne, Viognier & Clairette       Tasting notes :        There's a gentle headiness, a slight exoticism to the 2019 Coudoulet blanc. A little banana to the pear fruit. Rounded, full-bodied but a good sense of freshness. The bitterness is a little more pronounced this year, but still works well structurally. Gently oily, but there's a keen steeliness even if the acidity is only moderate. Has some serious presence for a Côtes-du-Rhône.       Awards :        92 pts Decanter
