Omschrijving
Château de Beaucastel ligt in een magisch decor bezaaid met wijngaarden, eeuwenoude olijfbomen en truffeleiken. Beaucastel, dat is de beroemdste wijn van Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Hier vind je de natuur in zijn puurste vorm en komt haar kracht tot rust. De typische gerolde keien zijn het geheim van haar wijngaarden waarin knoestige wijnranken in traditionele ‘gobelet’ vorm groeien. Op deze eeuwenoude bodem vinden we de 13 druivenrassen terug die toegestaan worden in de appellatie Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Al deze 13 druivenrassen vormen de basis van de mythische blends van Château de Beaucastel, waar ze biodynamisch worden verbouwd . Hiermee maken zij als een van de laatste gebruik van de rijkdom en de complexiteit die deze blend biedt.
De geschiedenis van Beaucastel start in het begin van de 17e eeuw. De Perrins verschenen in het begin van de 20e eeuw. Wij zijn nu vijf generaties verder en er staat een wereldbedrijf op het gebied van kwaliteitswijnen. Van zeer betaalbaar tot en met de absolute top. Alles aan visie, techniek en wijngaardbewerking die Beaucastel de begeerde, mondiale toppositie bezorgd heeft, is van toepassing op de wijngaarden en de wijnen met de andere herkomstbenamingen, zoals Ventoux, Luberon, Cotes du Rhone, Gigondas, Vinsobres, Rasteau en Vacqueyras. Met behoud van het eigen karakter; de onderlinge verschillen tussen de wijnen zijn groot en bewijzen de respectvolle werkwijze
De beroemdste wijn van 100% roussanne is de witte Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes van Château de Beaucastel. Een prachtige wijn met in de mond tonen van limoen, peer, sinaasappelschil, karamel en kamperfoelie, die worden gevolgd door een levendige en zeer lange afdronk met fraaie zuren. In de neus herkennen we aroma’s van grapefruit, exotisch fruit, jasmijn, honing, hazelnoot en anijs.

Caramel and honey notes add an extra layer of richness to the ripe pineapple and melon fruit in the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes. Full-bodied and rich without seeming heavy, with a wonderfully long, silky finish, it should provide exceptional drinking for at least another 15 years.
On my last two visits to this large, historic property, I've been greeted by Cesar Perrin, who now manages all of the family's vineyards and supervises the winemaking at Château de Beaucastel. Other family members continue to be involved in the myriad wine-related business decisions, including participating in the annual blending process.
The big news is that the new, state-of-the-art winery facility is inching closer to completion. Built largely of rammed earth from the site, and designed to have a big portion of the cooling load handled by ambient winds evaporating stored rainwater, it will set new standards in sustainability (assuming it all works the way it is supposed to).
In the vineyards, experiments with various cover crop regimes rolled as mulch are taking place with a view toward slowing sugar accumulation in the grapes and reining in potential alcohol levels. The results are intriguing, with the 2021 samples I tried from barrel coming in 0.5% to 0.7% lower in finished alcohol and with slightly lower pHs compared to plots farmed more traditionally, yet they wines still exhibit dark fruit and supple tannins. "I don't want to change," explained Cesar, "but I'm afraid to have too much alcohol and too low acidity." Along similar lines, there's been a bit more use of open-top vats for fermentation, which can also bring down alcohol levels.
Overall, the 2021s here have turned out very well, with Cesar calling it, "a nice vintage, in quantity and quality."

It's really hard to do the aromas of this wine justice, such is their complexity, extending from the whole range of candied citrus through ripe apricot to dried thyme. Amazing mouthfeel, the creamy stony and delicately zesty aspects of the wine beautifully interwoven to create a ravishingly beautiful whole. In spite of the power this is light on its feet at the very long, refined finish. 100% roussanne from ancient vines. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

From: Châteauneuf-du-Pape New Releases: Welcome to the Pleasuredome (Jun 2023)
Cropped at a tiny 12 – 18 hL/Ha, the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is at eye level with the 2020. It displays magnificent aromas of honeysuckle, yellow apple, ripe pear, grapefruit, lemon flesh, cedar and hints of herbal tea so typical of the Roussanne variety. Full-bodied, layered and kept in check by lively acidity, it concludes with a round and persistent finish. Only 4,000 bottles produced.

I eagerly anticipated meeting with winemaker César Perrin to learn about the massive construction project to rebuild the winery. From hundreds of applications, the Perrin Family awarded Indian architect Bijoy Jain with the task. The fundamental concept revolves around utilizing local soil in lieu of conventional cement, intending to facilitate the transfer of materials back to the local soils when the winery is eventually reconstructed 50 years from now. However, the true magic takes place beneath the surface, as sizable basins are filled with rainwater that is collected from the winery's roofs during the winter season. The mistral, a potent and typically arid wind that sweeps down from the north across the entire Rhône Valley, enters these subterranean basin halls, where it is cooled by the water, maintaining a natural temperature ranging from 12 to 14 degrees Celsius (equivalent to 53.6 to 57.2 degrees Fahrenheit). This cooled air is then redistributed throughout the winery to effectively regulate the temperature of the entire facility without the use of electricity. Instead of focusing on showy architectural designs with the sole intention of impressing, this approach reflects a visionary mindset embracing sustainability. Architecture aside, this year’s tasting covered a captivating set of vintages spanning from 2018 to 2022. Whether you choose their traditional white or red Châteauneuf-du-Pape or indulge in their special cuvées, you are in for a treat. Everything you could possibly look for in a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape—aromatic complexity, elegance, richness, balance, intensity, persistence—you will discover in Château de Beaucastel’s wines. While tasting the whites, Perrin and I debated how long they could develop in bottle. I was more conservative than him, suggesting that it is rare to see significant improvement after ten years of age. Perrin, on the other hand, reported memorable tastings of white Château de Beaucastel that had aged for several decades and suggested arranging a vertical tasting of the Cuvée Roussanne Vieilles Vignes at a later date to provide evidence for his stance.
