Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2024 is an extraordinary expression of elegance and refinement from one of the Southern Rhône’s most celebrated estates. Awarded an exceptional 99 points by James Suckling in September 2026, this remarkable vintage stands out for its delicate aromatics, ultra-fine tannins and seamless texture. Produced from biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification, the wine reflects the Perrin family’s commitment to the traditional diversity of Châteauneuf-du-Pape grape varieties. The blend comprises 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 10% Counoise, 5% Syrah, 5% Cinsault, 10% other red varieties and 10% white varieties.
