Chateau de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhône Le Coudoulet red 2024

Château de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Coudoulet de Beaucastel Rouge 2024 is another outstanding expression of the Perrin family’s expertise in the Southern Rhône. Sourced from vineyards immediately beyond the northern boundary of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this celebrated cuvée reflects the character and traditional winemaking philosophy of Beaucastel. Awarded 92 points by Jeb Dunnuck in October 2026, the 2024 vintage combines generosity, freshness and remarkable elegance. The blend is composed of equal proportions of Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah, complemented by 10% Cinsault, and aged for 15 months in traditional foudres. Aromas of ripe black cherry, Provençal garrigue, spice and underbrush create an expressive and distinctly Mediterranean bouquet. Medium-bodied, the palate is juicy, rounded and beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and an appealingly supple texture. Dunnuck highlights the consistently impressive quality of Coudoulet de Beaucastel, and the 2024 is no exception. Already drinking beautifully, it also offers excellent ageing potential through 2038 and potentially beyond under ideal storage conditions.
