“Beauchene's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Grande Reserve delivers nicely balanced lavender and garrigue notes against a backdrop of black cherries and stone fruit. Grenache-dominated—there's 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah—it's full-bodied and lushly textured, finishing long and velvety, showing impressive intensity without excess weight or any sense of over-ripeness.”
