Noel Young Wines has added 2006 releases from Château de Beaucastel to its Rhône en primeur offer.
Under-bond case prices range from £110 for the Coudoulet de Beaucastel red to £380 for Châteauneuf-du-Pape in red or white styles.
According to Young: "Customers
who value classic, pure, sensual,
balanced, European wines with clearly defined terroir characters will derive enormous pleasure from the 2006 vintage from both the
northern and
southern Rhône.
"The southern Rhône
produced some fantastic wines, combining all
attributes of
the 2004 and 2005 vintages. It was a particularly fine year for Grenache."
