Chateau de Beaucastel is a wine producer in Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhone. It makes some of the most famous wines in the whole of the Rhone Valley, from a classic southern Rhone blend which includes Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah, as well as the lesser-known Counoise and Cinsaut varieties. In 1549, Pierre de Beaucastel bought a barn and a plot of vineyards and inscribed his family's crest onto the walls. The land passed through the family until 1909, when it came under control of scientist Pierre Perrin. Today, Perrin's grandsons Jean-Pierre and Francois run the chateau.

Delightful. My first taste of this. Super fruit forward yet not jammy or sticky in any way. Consistent and bright throughout - this was a treat for the palate.
