Ch. de Beaucastel
In 1549, "Noble Pierre de Beaucastel" bought "a barn with its land
holdings, containing 25 saumées at Coudoulet". More than
four centuries later, this remarkable domaine, known today as
Château de Beaucastel, is producing what most people
acknowledge to be the finest wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
In 1903, a young chemical engineer and mathematics professor
named Pierre Perrin, together with his father-in-law,
began to restore the domaine following the ravages of
phylloxera. His son, Jacques Perrin, took over the domaine
in 1953 and introduced many innovations such as improved
grape varietals, integrated pest control, and a flash-heat
exchanger.
Today, the third and fourth generations of Perrins, François
and Jean-Pierre and Jean-Pierre's sons Pierre, Marc and
Thomas, continue in the tradition of their father and
grandfather. The vineyards of Beaucastel are treated as a garden:
no chemical fertilizer, no chemical week killers or
sprays are permitted. Organic fertilizer comes from compost
and only a minimum of traditional sulphur-copper spray is used
in the vineyards.
The vineyards are planted in all the traditional grapes of
Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault,
Vaccarese, Counoise,
Terret Noir,
Muscardin, Clairette,
Picpoul, Picardin,
Bourboulenc,
Roussanne.

The white wines of Chateau de Beaucastel are amongst the finest expressions of Roussanne grapes grown in a warm climate.

Deep black-ruby color. Profound aromas of black cherry, cassis, spice, leather and game, with an almost medicinal aspect. Very sweet entry, then firm and closed, almost too hard on the palate today. Extremely concentrated on the finish. more |
