Chateau De Beaucastel Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Rouge 2004
The 300 year old vineyards at Chateau de Beaucastel are treated without chemical fertilizers, herbicides or systemic pesticides. All 13 grape varietals of Chateauneuf-du-Pape are planted, with Mourvedre, Grenache, Counoise, Syrah, and Cinsault predominant. Each varietal is harvested and vinified separately. The final blend is a stunning wine. The Perrin brothers carry on the family tradition of making as natural a wine as possible, so this very long-lived wine will throw a sediment. Decanting is recommended.
