Tasting notes: ‘Beaucastel has undergone a tremendous qualitative development over the last four vintages, and the 2001 Châteauneuf du Pape (which François Perrin believes to be similar to the 1990, although I'm not yet convinced) is a blend of 15,000 cases composed of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah and 10% Counoise, with the remainder divided between the other authorised grape varieties of the appellation. This inky ruby/purple-coloured cuvée has a classic Beaucastel bouquet, with aromas of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, grilled herbs, black truffle, undergrowth, blackberry and cherry. A superb, earthy expression of this Mourvèdre-dominated cuvee. Full-bodied and powerful, it will undoubtedly close up over the next few years, only to re-emerge in 7 or 8 years' time.’

  

  • Location: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, between Orange and Avignon, Château de Beaucastel rouge is a 70 hectare vineyard.
  • Terroir : Château de Beaucastel has about 110 hectares in a single block in the north of the appellation. The terroir is the archetypal Châteauneuf terroir: pebbles on the surface, clay, sand and limestone at depth. The vines are old and the organic farming practiced for over 50 years has allowed their roots to go deep into the soil. Beaucastel cultivates the thirteen grape varieties authorised by the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.
  • Elaboration: Each grape variety is picked separately by hand. Vinification is carried out in truncated wooden vats for the reducing grape varieties (Syrah, Mourvèdre) and in traditional concrete and enamelled stoneware vats for the oxidative grape varieties (all the others). At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the Perrin family blends the different grape varieties, then the wine is aged in oak tuns for a year before being bottled.
  • Service: Around 15°C. If possible, remember to decant the wine.

I love this site. Whether it's for old wines, or recent ones. The choice of partner estates is impressive, and allocations are sold at fair prices. Ludovic's advice is always excellent.
