✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Château de Beaucastel Rouge is an iconic representation of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, celebrated for its unique philosophy of blending all thirteen permitted grape varieties. The estate's history dates back to 1549 when Pierre de Beaucastel purchased the property. The vineyard's terroir is defined by its signature 'galets roulés'—large, round stones that absorb the intense Provençal sun by day and radiate heat back to the vines at night, resting over a subsoil of clay, sand, and limestone. Unlike many of its neighbors, Beaucastel places a remarkably high emphasis on Mourvèdre, which provides structure, deep dark fruit, and exceptional aging potential. The winemaking process includes a unique flash-heating of the grape skins to extract color and soft tannins while eliminating harmful oxidases, followed by fermentation in traditional vessels and aging in large oak foudres to preserve the pure expression of the fruit and terroir.
🍾 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.
