Château de Beaucastel

Château de Beaucastel is a winery located in the southern part of the Rhône valley in France, which is primarily noted for its Châteauneuf du Pape wines produced in a long-lived style.

[1] For its red Châteauneuf du Pape, Beaucastel includes all 13 grape varieties that are traditionally part of the blend,[2] and uses a higher-than-usual proportion of Mourvèdre.

In the 19th century, when the Phylloxera epidemic struck the region, the owner of the domaine was Élie Dussaud, who decided not to replant the vineyards but rather to sell the property.

In 1990 Jean-Pierre and François Perrin, in collaboration with wine importer Robert Haas, founded Tablas Creek Vineyard within the California viticultural area of Paso Robles.

[5] In 2006, the Perrin family and Château de Beaucastel joined Primum Familiae Vini, an association of a limited number of high-end family-owned wineries.
