Château Beaucastel


Château de Beaucastel has 131 hectares of vineyards which makes it one of the largest estates in the region. Beaucastel was one of the very first domaines to practise organic viticulture - namely no use of herbicides, insecticides or any other chemicals. Unusually, all 13 permitted grape varieties are grown although it is Mourvèdre which is Beaucastel`s signature grape, often making up a third of the final blend.

Beaucastel is renowned for its controversial vinification "á chaud" which involves rapidly heating the incoming grapes, which extracts colour and aroma and kills harmful bacteria. Beaucastel's wines are matured in 500-litre oak casks and, after blending, are bottled with a light fining and without being filtered.

The humble Côtes Du Rhône appellation does no justice to the quality and power of this wine, in many respect a junior sibling to Château de Beaucastel itself, and keen to master the finer arts of its brother's majesty.The wine is a blend of 45% Grenache and an unusually high 30% of Mourvèdre, the balance dominated by 80 year old Cinsault. Despite the heat of the vintage, the 2003 Coudoulet is maturing wonderfully; fleshy yet poised with black fruit and spice, ripe yet firmly integrated tannins and a lick of pepper on the finish.

"The 2006 Coudoulet Blanc is made up of 30% Viognier, 30% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc and 10% Marsanne; the varieties blended 80% in stainless steel and 20% in small wooden barrels. A stunningly original wine with a profile that marries the citric to the honied, which, allied to mineral and nutty notes, make for a satisfyingly complex ensemble."  (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

"Much like it was in 1998, the blend for Beaucastel’s 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape includes more Grenache (50%) since that varietal was both consistent and of high quality. The balance is 20% Mourvedre, and 30% such varietals as Syrah and Counoise. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by an earthy style, moderately high levels of tannin, and neither the suppleness nor forward flamboyance of the 2000 or 2001. Dense, full-bodied, and structured, the 2003 is clearly a vin de garde. It will require 5-6 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 15-18." 91-93/100 points.

"This inky/ruby colured cuvee offers a classic Beaucastel bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, roasted herbs, black truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cheery fruit. It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mouvedre-dominated cuvee. Full-bodied and powerful, it will undoubtedly close down over the next several years... Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025..." 96/100 pts. (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate - Feb 2004)

(Wine No 8 - The Top 100 Wines of 2008 - Wine Spectator - Nov-2008)

Great wines taste better in magnum. As a very fine illustration of this self-evident truth, try the 2005 from Beaucastel. The power of the 30% Mourvedre, already evidenced with the notes of charcuterie and bacon rind, will ensure longevity and an extensive and satisfying chronological crescendo over the next fifteen years.

The 30% Mourvèdre is evident in the generous colour and savoury nose of the 2006; a big and powerful wine, with tar, liquorice and bonfire in support of the dense black fruit, the sweetness of which is thus far enigmatically and subtly shrouded. All will be revealed!
