Tasting notes
Château de Beaucastel crafts this Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne V.V., and it's all about using those old Roussanne vines to create something truly special. Beaucastel has this knack for blending innovation with tradition, and you can really taste their expertise in this bottle.
In Volume 10 of 'Kami no Shizuku,' this wine makes its appearance when architect Tomioka treats Shizuku and the gang at a Karuizawa restaurant. Paired with a lobster terrine, the wine is described as calming, like a Brahms lullaby. It's that kind of elegant experience that the wine brings to the table.
When you look at it, this wine shines with a golden hue. On the nose, it opens up with these vibrant pear and white peach aromas, and there's a hint of spice that adds layers of complexity. Take a sip, and you'll find a creamy texture with a robust acidity that balances all that richness beautifully.
The finish is impressively long, letting those complex flavors unfold slowly with each sip. I'd say serve it at around 10-12°C, and use a slightly larger glass. It's perfect for those special moments you want to savor with friends.
