Château de Beaucastel is one of the most historic estates of the Southern Rhône and has been owned by the Perrin family for several generations. The château is renowned for producing some of the... most age worthy wines of Châteauneuf du Pape, with vineyards planted on the famous galets roulés soils that help retain warmth and encourage full ripening of the grapes.
