Château de Beaucastel is a true monument of the Rhône Valley, thanks to the quality of the wine it produces and the size of its estate. The history of the estate dates back to the 14th century, and it wasn't until the early 20th century that it became the property of the Perrin family. It was Jacques Perrin who steered the estate's destiny until 1978, restoring the vineyards after the ravages of phylloxera to make them a true jewel of the southern Rhône Valley.

Your questions, our answers.

Can this 2002 Beaucastel be opened today, or should it be kept longer?

The vintage alone is not enough to decide: no drinking window or information about this bottle’s storage conditions is provided. Before deciding whether to open or keep it, ask for details about its storage history and condition.

Is a Parker score of 90 enough to tell whether this wine suits my tastes?

This score provides a point of reference, but it does not describe the wine’s profile. Without a tasting note, it is not possible to judge its fruit, tannins, or aromatic development.

What might be different compared with Vieux Télégraphe La Crau 2012?

This Beaucastel is ten vintages older than the 2012 La Crau, and the two wines come from different estates within the same appellation. This may make a comparison worthwhile, but the information provided does not allow us to say which is more evolved, more powerful, or more supple.

What kind of tasting would make this 2002 Beaucastel a good choice?

It could feature in a tasting focused on several Châteauneuf-du-Pape estates, alongside Vieux Télégraphe or Clos du Caillou. To compare the estates rather than the vintages, it is better to look for wines from the same vintage; the references cited do not allow for a vintage-matched comparison.

What is the advantage of this 75 cl bottle compared with the Clos du Caillou magnums listed in the catalogue?

It makes it possible to include a Châteauneuf-du-Pape in a tasting with half the volume of a 150 cl magnum. However, since the estates and vintages are different, any differences in the tasting should not be attributed to bottle size alone.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
