Château de Beaucastel is located in a magical setting dotted with vineyards, ancient olive trees and truffle oaks. Beaucastel is the most famous wine of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Here you will find nature in its purest form and its power comes to rest. The typical rolled pebbles are the secret of its vineyards in which gnarled vines grow in the traditional 'gobelet' shape. On this ancient soil we find the 13 grape varieties that are permitted in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. All these 13 grape varieties form the basis of the mythical blends of Château de Beaucastel, where they are grown biodynamically. In this way, they are one of the last to use the richness and complexity that this blend offers.

The history of Beaucastel starts at the beginning of the 17th century. The Perrins appeared at the beginning of the 20th century. We are now five generations further and there is a world company in the field of quality wines. From very affordable to the absolute top.
