Tasting note

At twenty years old, this Beaucastel has moved into its mature phase but still carries more structure and grip than most of its neighbours, thanks to the high proportion of Mourvèdre at the heart of the blend. The colour is a deep garnet with a broad brick rim. The nose is complex and distinctly savoury: dried black cherry and plum sit alongside leather, game, smoked meat and truffle, with lavender, liquorice, damp earth and the characteristic farmyard edge that marks out mature Beaucastel.

The palate is full and layered, with the tannins now rounded and polished but still giving a firm, dusty frame. The 2006 vintage’s fresh acidity keeps the wine poised, and the fruit, though now firmly secondary and tertiary, still has real depth. The finish is long and savoury, with notes of forest floor, cured meat and a lingering herbal, peppery spice.

The Perrin Family's range of wines enable you to discover the richness of the Southern Rhône Valley and its diverse terroirs. With the same expertise and the same passion as for Château de Beaucastel, the family prides itself in bringing out the true character of each terroir.

Region

Southern Rhone

The Southern Rhône, a renowned wine region in southeastern France, is celebrated for its diverse and robust wines. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, it is ideal for viticulture. The Southern Rhône is famous for its blends, particularly from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, producing rich, full-bodied reds with complex flavours of dark fruit, spices, and herbs. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious appellation, known for its powerful and age-worthy wines. It also excels in producing aromatic whites and refreshing rosés. With its varied terroir and traditional winemaking techniques, the Southern Rhône offers a captivating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking high-quality and flavourful wines.
