Chateau de Beaucastel Rouge 2006

Famille Perrin

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

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.

Richard Hemming MW

Very attractive overripe fruit aroma with a touch of compost and farmyard – yet not overtly bretty or funky. Balanced, rounded, succulent and finely balanced – this is a great example of the style in the prime of its life, full of fruit but showing tertiary development too. (RH)

The Beaucastel ’06 has a well defined nose with dark berried fruits, black olive, fennel, sage and a touch of wild honey. It displays superb delineation and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, just a little dryness on the sidelines, perhaps closing down a little with a salty tang on the finish. Very fine. Tasted February 2011.
