Goedhuis, October 2016
From a parcel that lies just beyond the boundary of the Châteauneuf appellation, but is actually an extension of Ch de Beaucastel’s single block. After a brief swirl in the glass it begins to open up its notably nuanced layers for a declassified wine. There is a delicate sweetness to the red berry fruit, and a dusting of vanilla and nutmeg spice. The palate is nimble with sleek tannins and a lingering freshness.

Wine Advocate, October 2017, Score: 92
Perennially one of the best Côtes du Rhône on the market, the Perrins have hit the mark again with their 2015 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel. So complex, lush and rich, it can compete with many producers' Châteauneufs, this vintage reveals dark fruit, hints of cola, cinnamon and allspice and a long, slightly warm finish. Drink Date 2017 - 2025

Jancis Robinson, November 2016, Score: 17+
Ripe cherry fruit, simple on the nose but very impressive clarity on the palate. Not heavy, and full of expressive fragrance. Snappy, refreshing finish. Seems drinkable now. Drink 2017-2027

John Livingstone-Learmonth, September 2016, Score: 4 stars
1) (Grenache, 30%, 64 hl barrel) ***(*) dark red; the bouquet has a rich interior, shows prune fruit, honey. The palate also runs on good, sustained richness, plum fruits; it is plump and refined in its gras. The tannins give a little darkness, bite. This is southern wine, indeed. “It is gourmand, you could drink it on its own,” César Perrin. 15 years 2) (Syrah, 30% 64 hl barrel) **** dark red; tight, well-filled nose, shows a little red meat. The palate holds bright fruit, comes with a good surge, has vivacity. This will go very well with the Grenache. There is good dance in its red fruit. Tasty wine. 16 years. 3) (Mourvèdre, 30% 51 hl barrel) **** very dark; beefy, oxtail, assured depth in the nose, small dark fruits. This is packed with potential, gives a real, serious couch and base for the wine, holds good, prolonged freshness. It is salted late on, has both brio and a serious nature, is long. 18 years. OVERALL **** all these are very orderly and will play their respective roles well. It will be a full Coudoulet, take your time wine. 2033-35. www.drinkrhone.com

Château de Beaucastel, the flagship estate of the Perrin family and masters on the Southern Rhône, makes benchmark Châteauneuf. The best vintages here can age into legendary wines, and an increasing tendency to elegance in the winemaking style of recent years has not gone unnoticed. The Beaucastel vines are all in one large 110 hectare block at the northern end of the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation. The plot contains all the archetypal soil types of the region: sand, clay and limestone, with pudding stone pebbles on the surface. Their Coudoulet vines lie just beyond the northern boundary and convey much of the typicity of a Châteauneuf in a more accessible format. The estate famously grows all thirteen varieties permitted within the Châteauneuf appellation. Beyond the Beaucastel estate, the Perrin family have built up a comprehensive portfolio of wines across the Southern Rhône appellations including Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Vinsobres.Read less

Region
Côtes du Rhône
The largest of the Rhône appellations, it is also has the most breadth and variety in its styles. Its hierarchy ranges from the fruity and ultra light Côtes du Rhône Primeur (made by carbonic maceration), to the standard Côtes du Rhône, to the more concentrated versions of Côtes du Rhône Villages and Côtes du Rhône Villages with 1 of 16 specified villages attached to the label. It is generally known for its fruit forwardness and easy drinkability. Most of the vineyards are found in the southern valley whose main variety is Grenache; however, there are smaller areas in the northern valley that uniquely grow Syrah, therefore producing a very different wine.
