✨ Technical Specifications
Often affectionately dubbed the 'baby Beaucastel,' Coudoulet de Beaucastel Blanc is produced from a vineyard situated just east of the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation boundary. Despite its Côtes du Rhône classification, this wine shares the identical geological heritage of its grand sibling, featuring the famous 'galets roulés' (rolled pebbles) over Miocene marine molasses. The Perrin family applies the same rigorous biodynamic principles and meticulous winemaking standards here as they do at Château de Beaucastel. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and traditional oak foudres, this white blend beautifully captures the warmth of the southern sun balanced by a striking, salty minerality and vibrant freshness.
🍾 About the Producer
Famille Perrin is one of the Southern Rhône Valley's most esteemed winemaking dynasties, famously anchored by the historic Château de Beaucastel estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Guided by generations of the Perrin family, the domaine became a pioneering champion of organic farming in 1950 and biodynamic viticulture in 1974 under the visionary stewardship of Jacques Perrin. Their winemaking philosophy centers on authentic terroir expression, biodiversity, and the preservation of artisanal blending traditions, famously utilizing all thirteen permitted Châteauneuf-du-Pape grape varieties with an emphasis on Mourvèdre. Today, Famille Perrin crafts a prestigious and multifaceted portfolio ranging from the legendary, age-worthy Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin to quintessential expressions of Gigondas, Cairanne, and classic Côtes du Rhône.
