What Critics Think
Wine Advocate : 92 Points
(10/12/2023) A terrific vintage for this wine, which was bottled just a couple of weeks prior to my late June visit, the 2021 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel is a blend of 30% each Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah, plus 10% Cinsault. From a vineyard just outside the boundaries of the appellation of Chateauneuf-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. Drink Date: 2023 - 2035.

(5/22/2023) Wonderful freshness with stacks of garden herb and candied citrus aromas. Serious tannin and acidity structure for a white from this humble appellation. Excellent combination of creaminess and crispness on the medium-bodied palate. Salty finish. Drink or hold. From organically grown grapes.
