In a very warm, south-facing climate, Rasteau l'Andéol gives full expression to the power of ripe Grenache. Its deep red color reveals a generous nose of stewed black fruits, kirsch cherries and spicy notes. The attack is frank and voluminous, supported by tight tannins, spicy aromas and a few floral notes... A fine representative of the appellation!

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.
