About this Item
Coudoulet de Beaucastel is the Côtes du Rhône of Château de Beaucastel, from the Perrin family's vineyards across the road from the great Châteauneuf estate, a Grenache-Mourvèdre-Syrah-Cinsault blend often called a 'baby Beaucastel'. 2002 was a difficult, rain-affected southern Rhône vintage, so severe that Beaucastel declassified much of its crop. Jancis Robinson gave it 16.5 out of 20.
