"Château de Beaucastel has long been regarded as one of France’s greatest wines, celebrated for its balance, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Situated on the northern edge of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, its extraordinary terroir is highly exposed to the Mistral wind. All thirteen of the region’s grape varieties have been cultivated organically here since the 1960s.
 
 
Each variety is hand-harvested separately. Fermentation takes place in wooden conical vats for reductive grapes (Syrah, Mourvèdre) and in traditional concrete and enameled stone tanks for oxidative grapes (Grenache). After malolactic fermentation, the Perrin family assembles the different varieties, and the wine is aged for one year in large oak casks before bottling.
 
 
A beautifully spiced nose with aromas of pepper, garrigue, bay leaf, and dried herbs.
 
 
On the palate, it is elegant, with notes of leather and wax. The attack is broad, with structured yet silky tannins."
