Chateau de Beaucastel Rouge 2012

We can find the first evidence of Chateau de Beaucastel as it exists today in the sixteenth century. In 1549, Pierre de BEaucastel bought a “barn with a plot of land extending to 52 saumees at Coudoulet”. The manor house will be built then with the arms of Beaucastel sculpted on a stone wall of the drawing room. Today the torch is being carried by Jean-Pierre and Francois and their children, respectively the fourth and fifth generation on the estate. Beaucastel is first of all a family history, the sotry of Famille Perrin.

Château de Beaucastel has long been regarded as one of the greatest wines in France. It is notorious for its elegance, balance and ageing potential. Beaucastel has an exceptional terroir at the Northern limit of Châteauneuf du Pape, exposed to the Mistral wind. All thirteen varieties of the appellation have been organically grown since the sixties.
