In 1549, "Noble Pierre de Beaucastel" bought "a barn with its land holdings, containing 25 saumées (Ancient French Rhone dialect for 110 litre barrells) at Coudoulet". More than four centuries later, this remarkable domaine, known today as Château de Beaucastel, is producing what most people acknowledge to be the finest wines of Châteauneuf-Du-Pape.

In 1903, a young chemical engineer and mathematics professor named Pierre Perrin, together with his father-in-law, began to restore the domaine following the ravages of phylloxera. His son, Jacques Perrin, took over the domaine in 1953 and introduced many innovations such as improved grape varietals, integrated pest control, and a flash-heat exchanger.

Today, the third and fourth generations of Perrins, François and Jean-Pierre and Jean-Pierre's sons Pierre, Marc and Thomas, continue in the tradition of their father and grandfather. The vineyards of Beaucastel are treated as a garden: no chemical fertilizer, no chemical week killers or sprays are permitted. Organic fertilizer comes from compost and only a minimum of traditional sulphur-copper spray is used in the vineyards.

The vineyards are planted in all the traditional grapes of Châteauneuf-du-Pape: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault, Vaccarese, Counoise, Terret Noir, Muscardin, Clairette, Picpoul, Picardin, Bourboulenc, Roussanne.

 ...keep in mind this is normally a $95- $100 wine AND IS SOLD OUT EVERY YEAR IN DECEMBER UNTIL THE 2018 which will be RELEASED NEXT FALL/WINTER 2020 ...

 

I have brought in this FABULOUS ICON since 1984 and in all the last 35 years it is as stellar and consistent as it gets, a SURE BET in the world of SUPER HIGH END CDPs...
