Description

While the Château de Beaucastel’s history dates back to 1549, the estate’s modern story begins with its purchase by the Perrin family, stalwarts of the Rhône Valley and pioneers in winemaking innovation. Château de Beaucastel was one of the earliest adopters of biodynamic viticulture, gaining certification in 1974, and continues to craft sumptuous wines that reflect a deep respect for the terroir.

About the Producer

Beaucastel’s 110 hectares of vineyards are defined by the archetypal feature of Châteauneuf, galets roules – large pebbles that absorb heat during the day and release it at night, guaranteeing optimum ripening. In addition to the classic Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, the vineyards are planted with a wide variety of local grapes, including Counoise, Cinsault, and Vaccarèse.

Tasting Notes

2017 in the southern Rhône Valley was a hot, dry year with small yields, resulting in concentrated, long-lived and intensely ripe wines produced in limited quantities. The Perrin family hand-harvested their grapes before varietal-specific fermentation, blending and further maturation in oak vats. This wine pours a deep garnet colour, displaying aromas of ripe red and black fruits, spice and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied with a dense structure and an incredibly long finish. Jeff Leve and Wine Spectator both give 95 points.
