Deep ruby with purple reflections, this wine greets the senses with an aromatic bouquet of sunbaked stones, black cherries, licorice, and purple raspberries, leading into hints of dark chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied, plush yet refined, with black-cherry jam and licorice flavors, velvety tannins, and a long, elegant finish.
Produced by the esteemed Perrin family under the Chateau de Beaucastel umbrella, Coudoulet is planted just outside the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The 2021 blend features approximately 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Syrah, and 10% Cinsault, all organically farmed. Winemaking combines tradition and refinement, macerated in cement for about 12 days, aged for six months in oak foudres, then blended post-malo for balance and depth.
Serve at 16 °C, optionally decanted. This refined red shines with roast lamb, game, aged cheeses, mushroom-based dishes, or truffle-rich recipes, perfect for elevated comfort food.

Château de Beaucastel, the foremost property of the Famille Perrin, is a magical place, surrounded by hills planted with vines, hundred-year-old olive trees and truffle oaks. Here nature is blooming, liberated and at ease. Ancient vines with knotted roots are nurtured in the traditional "gobelet" style in the soil typical of the region, laden with large round pebbles. When the Mistral blows - the legendary wind from the Alps - it whistles down the Rhône Valley cooling the vines and bringing aromas of the garrigue. It has the Southern accent of those who live here at one with the Mediterranean climate. It's on these ancestral soils, supporting the 13 grape varieties of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, that each new vintage of Beaucastel is born.
The 30 hectares of Coudoulet are located just east of the vineyard of Beaucastel on the other side of the A7 motorway. For reasons that have now become obvious, Coudoulet is often considered the baby Beaucastel. The Coudoulet soil has many similarities to that of Beaucastel. It is made out of Molasse seabed covered by diluvial alpine deposits. These pebbles called “Galets Roulés” play a big role: They take in the heat during the day and let it if off slowly at night which gives a good start to the vines in the Spring.
An aromatic white from the Southern Rhône, with bright peach and citrus framed by lifted minerality: fresh, elegant, and perfect for versatile drinking.
An elegant yet powerful Rhône classic. Ripe cherries, savory herbs, and polished spice layered over a richly structured core. A beautifully balanced expression of Châteauneuf, with pedigree and poise.
A bold and aromatic Rhône Cru. Ripe red and black fruit, warming spice, and velvety structure. Generously expressive now, with complexity that evolves beautifully with time.
