Drink now or cellar for up to 25 years. Decant 1 hour before serving. One of the most famous
names in France’s Southern Rhone Valley Chateau de Beaucastel was acquired by the Perrin
family in the early 1900s. The family are passionate about working in harmony with nature and
passing the estate down to future generations and they’ve been farming according to biodynamic
principles since the 1970s. This magnificent cuvee is crafted from all 13 of the authorised
grape varieties which are allowed under the rules of the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. The
fruit comes from a single plot in the northern part of the region where there’s a high
percentage of Mourvedre old vines. This helps to give extra structure and power to the wine
making this an excellent choice to add to the cellar for another decade or so. Seductive dark
fruit immediately bursts out of the glass including cassis black plum and blackberries
along with subtle undertones of oregano wild thyme and cedar wood. On the palate there’s a
punchy full body robust tannins and a solid structure which will help this wine to age
beautifully into the coming years. Enjoy now with hearty red meat dishes like a ribeye steak
wild boar ragu served with fresh pasta or venison.
