Majestic have done well to snap up this delicious, organic-certified GSM blend, because despite its Côtes du Rhône labelling, the 34ha Champauvins vineyard actually abuts the Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards of none other than Château de Beaucastel. The wine is aromatic and lifted, exuding ripe crushed raspberries and juicy cherries, as well as more dark black fruit tones. The palate is sweetly-fruited, like blueberry yoghurt. Spicy, succulent, and finishing with dry tannins. This could be your go-to barbecue or mid-week red, but could also be worth keeping another year or two to see how it develops in bottle
