Winemaker’s notes
Tasting note
A beautiful, bright red color with crimson reflections. On the nose, the wine is powerful and complex with an impressive array of aromas of fully ripe red fruits, accompanied by fine notes of chocolate, tobacco and undergrowth. On the palate it is full-bodied, silky and wonderfully round, before an elegant, finely structured tannin structure emerges. Power and finesse are in perfect balance and give the wine a remarkable harmony.
Terroir
Château de Beaucastel covers 110 hectares in the north of the appellation. The exceptional terroir of pebbles, sand, clay and limestone as well as the old vines, which have been organically farmed for around 50 years, enable deep roots. Beaucastel also cultivates all thirteen permitted grape varieties in the appellation.
