2020 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge
Château de Beaucastel is one of the most iconic estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, run by the Perrin family since 1909 and farmed organically and biodynamically for over 50 years. The grand vin is famously a blend of up to 13 grape varieties, expressing the full diversity of the appellation's celebrated galets roulés.
