Château de Beaucastel`s origins trace back to 1549, when Pierre de Beaucastel acquired a vineyard plot and a barn in the area, marking the walls with his family crest. Ownership remained within the family until 1909, when the estate was purchased by the Perrin family. This release is remarkably fresh and nuanced for a 1999 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Very long and almost Burgundian in style.

Vinous
Full ruby. Highly complex nose combines black fruits, gibier, truffle, road tar, licorice and leather. Very intense and spicy, but still tightly wound, with a firm acid spine keeping the flavors under wraps. Very interior wine today, notes Perrin. But one already senses the incipient complexity. Finishes with building tannins, a note of caramel and terrific persistence. This will need time.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2002
