"A well-crafted Gigondas with wild strawberries, redcurrants, raspberries, herbs and baking spices on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. Harmonious and well composed, with a lively, peppery, evolving finish." (James Suckling 2023)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
3*Star rating (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Over the past 15 years, the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel has expanded by acquiring appellations in the Southern Rhône Valley. A successful ambition, both in Luberon with Vieille Ferme and on the other terroirs presented. A perfect mastery of fermentation and appropriate ageing are key factors in this success.
