Your questions, our answers.

What is the difference between Coudoulet de Beaucastel 2008 and Château de Beaucastel 2002?

Coudoulet de Beaucastel 2008 comes from the Côtes-du-Rhône appellation, while Château de Beaucastel 2002 is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They are two red wines from the same estate, but from different cuvées, appellations, and vintages.

What is the benefit of tasting these two Beaucastel wines side by side?

It allows you to discover two expressions of the estate: Coudoulet from Côtes-du-Rhône and Château de Beaucastel from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Since the vintages are also different, any differences observed cannot be attributed to the appellation alone.

What terroir characterizes the Château de Beaucastel vineyard?

The estate is located in Courthézon, in the southern Rhône, on soils of rounded pebbles. This setting is part of the estate’s general description, but the specific plots used for the two cuvées are not detailed.

Are the thirteen grape varieties grown at the estate used in both cuvées presented here?

The description states that Beaucastel grows all thirteen grape varieties permitted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, including Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault. However, it does not specify the blend or proportions for Coudoulet 2008 and Château de Beaucastel 2002.

What viticultural practices are indicated for Château de Beaucastel?

The estate is described as practicing organic and biodynamic viticulture. No details are provided about certifications or their application to the 2002 and 2008 vintages, so these statements do not confirm the status of each bottle.
