Despite the fact that 50% of the crop was sold off to negociants, this is an emaciated, thin, vegetal Beaucastel without enough fruit and glycerin to cover its skeletal structure. Given its lack of fruit, charm, and pleasure, it has no place to go but down. Beaucastel is imported by Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT; tel. (802) 875-2139
