Château de Beaucastel
Château de Beaucastel is one of the most iconic estates in the Rhône Valley, with a history dating back to the 16th century. Under the stewardship of the Perrin family since 1909, it has become synonymous with the production of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines. Known for its innovative spirit, the estate was an early adopter of organic farming practices and later incorporated biodynamic principles. This commitment to preserving tradition while embracing sustainability has cemented its place as a benchmark producer in the region.
The estate is located in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the crown jewel of the Southern Rhône Valley. This historic appellation is celebrated for its diverse vineyard plantings and its role in establishing modern appellation systems. The Mediterranean climate of the region, marked by warm summers, mild winters, and the cooling Mistral winds, supports the cultivation of numerous grape varieties. This climate fosters wines of concentration and balance, hallmarks of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
The terroir of Château de Beaucastel is defined by its galets roulés, large round stones that cover the vineyard floor and retain heat, promoting even ripening of the grapes. Beneath these stones lies a mix of clay, sand, and limestone, which enhances water retention and drainage. The estate cultivates all 13 permitted grape varieties of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, creating complex wines with layers of dark fruit, herbs, and a characteristic spiciness. This unique combination of soil, climate, and varietal diversity defines Beaucastel’s distinctive style.
