The last day incorporated Beaucastel, the most famous of Châteauneuf du Pape domaines.
It was amazing that I did not get lost as usual. I suppose the 4th time around is a charm! A dynamic tour and tasting led by their tour manager Fabrice led to a superb vendangeur lunch.
My last tasting was at Château Unang in the Côtes de Ventoux. The domaine is owned and run by James King, a Scotsman (with an English accent) who has been transforming this property since 2003. A relaxed tasting of their various whites and reds, a leisurely dinner was the perfect finale to a long, palpable week.
For a personal look into the 2006 vintage, please join us for our 2nd annual Rhône En Primeur tasting which will take place on Wednesday, 28 November at The Hospital.
For full write-ups of the tasting notes and producers, please refer to our 2006 En Primeur offer which will be available at the end of November.
