Coudoulet de Beaucastel Rouge may be labelled Côtes du Rhône, but in reality this wine is so much more than that. It’s made by Châteauneuf’s iconic Château de Beaucastel and lavished with the same care and expertise that the Perrin family invest in their legendary Châteauneuf du Pape. The grapes are a classic southern Rhône blend of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, plus a splash of Cinsault, all from prized vineyards on the estate. Fruit is sorted by hand and state of the art laser scanners, ensuring that only the ripest, juiciest grapes are selected for the cuvée. Peppery bramble fruit aromas lead to vibrant black cherry and spiced plum flavours. You’ll find this a Côtes du Rhône of rare depth and class that excels with casseroles or slow roasted belly pork.
