AboutChâteau de Beaucastel
Château de Beaucastel traces its history to 1549, when Pierre de Beaucastel acquired land at Coudoulet. Pierre Tramier bought the estate in 1909 and later entrusted it to his son-in-law Pierre Perrin; the fifth Perrin generation now continues the family’s work.
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard is covered with rounded stones and shaped by the warm southern Rhône climate and the mistral. All thirteen historic Châteauneuf-du-Pape varieties are grown here, with organic farming dating to the 1950s and biodynamic practices to 1974. Grapes are harvested by hand and the varieties fermented separately before blending.

French Red

Ripe red cherry and black cherry open with cassis, liquorice and layered exotic spice. Full-bodied and richly textured, the palate carries generous fruit without feeling heavy, supported by powerful but measured tannins. Earthy herbs and a cola-like savoury note emerge toward the long, warming finish. Decant for lamb, beef or game.

The remaining ten percent comprises eight other permitted varieties. The grapes are grown organically.
Chateau de Beaucastel Chateau du Pape 2020
French Red
$129.99
Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020 is a classic, Mourvèdre-led Southern Rhône red that shows the estate’s trademark depth and savoury complexity. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, dried rose, lavender, liquorice, leather and garrigue lead into a layered palate of dark fruit, pepper, earth and warm spice.
Full-bodied and structured, it keeps its shape through fresh acidity, firm but polished tannins and a long mineral finish. A serious, ageworthy red for roast lamb, game or slow-braised meats.
