From the outstanding 2009 vintage, this is a milestone year for the Perrin family that are the current owners of Château de Beaucastel, as it marks the 100th vintage made by the family (who purchased the estate back in 1909). Showcasing wonderfully polished, luscious tannins, this is a vintage built for long aging.

Vinous
(30% each of grenache and mourvedre and 10% each of counoise and syrah, with the balance spread across the other nine permitted varieties): Bright ruby. Perfumed, expressive aromas of red and dark berry preserves, smoky herbs and lavender, with a touch of licorice adding depth. Fleshy and supple in texture, offering intense black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors lifted by a spicy quality. Shows the richness of the vintage but carries no excess fat. The finish lingers with impressive tenacity and echoes the floral and smoke notes.Josh Raynolds1st January 2012
