Producer Information

Chteau de Beaucastel is a wine producer based in Courthzon, in the northern Chteauneuf-du-Pape region of the southern Rhne. It makes some of the most famous wines in the whole of the Rhne Valley, from a classic southern Rhne blend that includes Grenache, Mourvdre and Syrah, as well as the lesser-known Counoise and Cinsaut varieties. The estate reportedly dates back to 1549 when Pierre de Beaucastel bought a barn and a plot of vineyards in the region and inscribed his family’s crest onto the walls. The land passed through the family until 1909, when it came under control of scientist Pierre Perrin. Today, Perrin’s grandsons Jean-Pierre and Franois run the estate. The chteau is located in the northeast corner of the appellation, just southeast of the city of Orange. There are around 100 hectares (250 acres) planted to vine, three-quarters of which is used to make the Chteauneuf-du-Pape AOC wines.
