94 points Anthony Dias Blue (The Tasting Panel): "[$109 list] Another stunner from Famille Perrin. Bright, fresh and elegant with refined red berry fruit and clean flavors of ripe plum and soft spice; shows great aging potential. 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Counoise, 10% Syrah, 5% Cinsault, with others. (Apr 2016)"
93 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a beauty and has a rare level of concentration and depth in the vintage. Blueberry, crushed flowers, pepper, and violet aromas and flavors flow nicely to a medium to full-bodied, structured and tannic Beaucastel that has impressive purity and plenty of length. It’s not massive, but still needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for a decade after that. Drink: 2020-2030. (Oct 2015)"
93 pointsWine Enthusiast: "[$109 list] While not the most structured vintage of Beaucastel, this is a full-bodied, creamy-textured rendering of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Finely detailed notes of plum, thyme and leather mark the nose, while the flavors are ripe almost to the point of jamminess. Drink now-2025. (May 2016)"
