Expert reviews about the winery

Robert Parker
« One of the great estates of the Rhone Valley, Chateau Beaucastel has been run by several generations of the Perrin family, beginning with the late Jacques Perrin (who died in 1978), then the brothers Jean-Pierre and Francois, and now their sons Thomas, Marc, Pierre, and Mathieu. Beaucastel has nearly 200 acres in vine in Chateauneuf du Pape, and they have branched out with an impressive operation under the Perrin et Fils label, purchasing grapes and acquiring land (in Vinsobres and Gigondas, for example). Their goal is to become the most recognized name for high quality wines in the southern Rhone. As shrewd consumers know, one of the best values in under $10 a bottle wine is La Vieille Ferme. The Perrin et Fils cuvees include wines made from purchased grapes as well as their new acquisitions in Vinsobres, Gigondas (25 acres), and the Cotes du Rhone village of Cairanne (35 acres). The Perrins enjoyed tremendous success with their 2008 red wines, largely because yields ranged between 18 hectoliters per hectare for Beaucastel, to only 20 hectoliters per hectare for Coudoulet. The mildew that affected everyone was the culprit. The entire family acknowledged there was an extraordinary triage and culling out of the grapes at the sorting tables. »

Latest user reviews about the wines of this winery


*** 3 stars : Good 
Not Perrin's best effort
Definitely not the rich fruit and deep minerals I expect from a CDP, but then again the price I paid was not as rich either. There was nothing wrong with the wine basically except that I found the palate a little wanting for that berry and spice experience and the mid-line a bit harsh. Perrin is usually some very good juice so I will reserve a final opinion until I open the next bottle I have set aside.

**** 4 stars : Very good 
Delicious
Boy, Perrin just has it going on. Their Vacqueyras (Les Christins) in the past few years has been great and now this. Very dark and very fruit forward. Nice bold taste with a mineral cleanliness. Goes very well with fowl but could stand up to most meats as well. Long finish, smooth tannins

*** 3 stars : Good 
Perhpas an off bottle?
I know this wine gets rave reviews from Wine Spectator, and it was OK, but I got so much mineral or funk throughout the wine that I thought it was “off”. I think it may be just my experience because I have several of these and each is about the same taste. I’m looking forward to trying a 2005, and if it is the same I’ll just leave these alone. Hard to give it “rave” reviews given what I experienced, but it was certainly a full bodied, big fruit contender. I’ll hold final opinion until I taste an 05!

**** 4 stars : Very good 
Expensive but worth it
OK, $25 for a CDR is a bit steep, but this is Château Beaucastel and they make some GREAT wines. This dark purple beauty drank like some CDP’s I have had costing a lot more. Great fruit and earth on its nose, dark cherries and minerals on the tongue with a lingering finish. This is a special treat for me, and there are CDRs that I like costing much less, but it’s a treat I have a few of and they are waiting for a good reason to make their appearance

Presentation of the winery

In 1909 Pierre Tramier bought the property and Beaucastel then passed to his son-in-law, Pierre Perrin, a scientist who considerably increased the vineyard holding. His efforts were continued by Jacques Perrin until 1978...
Today the torch is carried by Jean Pierre and François, sons of Jacques. But Marc, Pierre, Thomas and Matthieu, who represent the fifth generation, are ready to pursue this fabulous family history.
