Beaucastel has been making wine on the same ground since before Shakespeare was born. The estate was established in 1549, when Pierre de Beaucastel acquired a barn and vineyard land in the Coudoulet section of what is now Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Perrin family has guided it since 1909, and three generations later, they remain inseparable from its reputation as one of the most respected estates in the region. The family farmed organically beginning in 1950 and started experimenting with biodynamics as early as 1974, decades ahead of the movement. Uniquely, the estate plants all 13 grape varieties permitted in the appellation, with old vines rooted in a mix of sandstone, rocks, and limestone.

A cooler, more classically proportioned vintage, the 2014 shows Beaucastel's savory, structured side — earth, dark spice, and that unmistakable Mourvèdre grip. Now entering its stride, it's a rare chance to drink a fully mature Beaucastel at a fraction of retail. 

About The Producer

The first evidence of Château de Beaucastel as it exists today is in the sixteenth century. In 1909, Pierre Traminer bought the estate and then transferred it to his son-in-law Pierre Perrin, a scientist who further developed Beaucastel. His son, Jacques, continued his father's efforts until 1978 and today, the torch is carried by Jacques' sons, Jean-Pierre and Francois. They are joined by the fifth generation of Perrins - Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cecile, Charles, Matthieu, and Cesar. The vineyards of Château de Beaucastel are located on historic land where each of the 13 approved grapes varietals of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation are planted. The art of blending these 13 grapes has been passed down from one generation to the next. Beaucastel is, first of all, a family story, the story of Famille Perrin. Their main strength is being able to blend the talents of each family member to run the wine estate under common values: absolute respect for land and terroir; biodynamic culture as a philosophy of life; and the research of truth, balance, and elegance.
