✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Oenotheque releases of Chateau de Beaucastel represent the pinnacle of provenance, consisting of rare library vintages held back and aged in the estate's cold, dark subterranean cellars in Courthezon before being released at peak maturity. This legendary Chateauneuf-du-Pape is defined by its unique terroir of Miocene marine limestone and iconic galets roules (rolled pebbles) that absorb the Mediterranean sun. Beaucastel is famous for utilizing all thirteen permitted grape varieties, with an unusually high proportion of Mourvedre. The winemaking involves a unique flash-heating of the skins to extract pure fruit character and color while maintaining freshness, followed by aging in historic oak foudres. The Oenotheque bottlings offer a rare glimpse into the profound complexity, truffle-scented depth, and velvety texture that only decades of pristine professional cellaring can achieve.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Famille Perrin er et af de mest respekterede vinhuse i det sydlige Rhône og har sit historiske anker i den berømte ejendom Château de Beaucastel i Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Gennem generationer har Perrin-familien været pionerer inden for bæredygtighed; allerede i 1950 omlagde de til økologisk dyrkning, og i 1974 indførte den visionære Jacques Perrin biodynamiske metoder. Husets vinfilosofi bygger på et autentisk terroirudtryk, biodiversitet og bevarelsen af de stolte traditioner for blandingsvine – ikke mindst gennem anvendelsen af alle tretten tilladte druesorter i Châteauneuf-du-Pape med en særlig forkærlighed for Mourvèdre. I dag står Famille Perrin bag en bred og prestigefuld portefølje, der spænder fra den legendariske og lagringsværdige Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin til arketypiske fortolkninger af Gigondas, Cairanne og klassisk Côtes du Rhône.
