One of our all-time favorite Rhone wines is now on sale this week! We are sure you know Coudelet but for those of you that don't the Perrin family sums it up very nicely on their website "The 30 hectares of Coudoulet are located just east of the vineyard of Beaucastel on the other side of the A7 motorway. For reasons that have now become obvious, Coudoulet is often considered the baby Beaucastel. The Coudoulet soil has many similarities to that of Beaucastel. It is made out of Molasse seabed covered by diluvial alpine deposits. These pebbles called "Galets Roulés" play a big role: They take in the heat during the day and let it if off slowly at night which gives a good start to the vines in the Spring.
This really drinks way above it's designation of Cotes du Rhone and gives a very nice introduction to the exceptional terroir and winemaking that has made Beuacastel one of the most famous names in the world of fine wine. Folks-this is a "steal" at $26.99!
2022 Beaucastel - Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel
A blend of 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 10% Cinsault, the 2022 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel exhales a delicate, perfumed bouquet of black cherries, spices, violets and spring flowers. It's medium to full-bodied, enveloping and layered with a juicy core of fruit, a tense mid-palate and a fresh, ethereal finish. This is a consistent wine and a solid value.
