Managed by the Perrin family, the historic Châteauneuf-du-Pape property is renowned for incorporating all 13 traditional grape varieties into its blend - a practice that brings remarkable depth, spice, and longevity to the wine. Led by high proportions of Mourvèdre and Syrah, Beaucastel delivers a rare balance of raw power, refined complexity, and clear site identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe winemaking follows strict traditional methods: grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before fermenting by varietal in large truncated wooden vats, concrete, and glazed stoneware tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the varieties are masterfully blended and aged for twelve months in large oak \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"297\"\u003efoudres\u003c\/i\u003e.
