喻為偉大的法國酒，在葡萄酒界之中都一致公認為有良好的平衡、優雅和陳年能力。Beaucastel 位於產區北部邊緣，受 Mistral 風影響，風土非同凡響。由六十年代開始，酒莊就種植了產區內全部十三種葡萄。
Coudoulet de Beaucastel 是一支非常出色的副牌。Coudoulet葡萄園位於國道 7 號以東，距離教皇新堡產區僅一條公路之隔。

這是一個非常好的年份…葡萄園位於教皇新堡產區(Châteauneuf-du-Pape)旁，這款酒水準穩定，具備一定的實力。散發出日曬的石頭、黑櫻桃和甘草的香氣，夾雜著淡淡的紫色覆盆子和黑朱古力的香氣。酒體中等至飽滿，口感絲滑，餘韻悠長。
Château Beaucastel has long been considered one of the great wines of France. It is unanimously renowned for its balance, elegance and ageing potential. Beaucastel has an extraordinary terroir at the Northern end of the appellation with heavy exposure to the Mistral. All 13 varieties of the appellation have been organically grown here since the sixties.
Coudoulet de Beaucastel is a fantastic second wine. This rich Côtes du Rhône is a selection of wines from the adjoining Côtes du Rhône Coudoulet vineyards. These vineyards are located east of Route National No. 7, the highway which forms the boundary between the Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellations at Beaucastel.

A terrific vintage for this wine... From a vineyard just outside the boundaries of the appellation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it's a remarkably consistent wine and always a solid value. Scents of sunbaked stones, black cherries and licorice appear on the nose, joined by hints of purple raspberries and dark chocolate, while the medium to full-bodied palate is lush and velvety, finishing long and complex.
