Château de Beaucastel
Marc Perrin mentioned, again, the foresight of his grandfather Jacques in planting the full range of permitted varieties rather than leaning too hard on Grenache in the estate’s vineyards. There are now roughly 100 hectares under vine here, with another 30 that are unplanted. The large amount of Mourvèdre and, increasingly, Counoise in the mix means that the Perrins have largely dodged the perils of recent flowering issues for Grenache that have been plaguing the region for the last few years, so production levels, while off, haven’t been as dismal as at many neighboring estates. Perrin told me that 2016 was a great year for the late-ripening Mourvèdre “because it was such a late harvest, which favors the grape and Syrah as well.” The wines are, predictably, full-throttle and show abundant rich fruit, along with the plenty of Mourvèdre structure that ensures a long aging curve ahead.
