Style
An exceptional Southern Rhône white produced by the renowned Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel. Sourced from vineyards immediately adjacent to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Coudoulet Blanc is often regarded as one of the appellation's finest white wines, combining richness, freshness, and remarkable precision.
Region
Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, France
Grape Varieties
Nose
A beautifully refined bouquet of fresh citrus, white peach, quince, delicate rose petals, white flowers, and subtle exotic spices, with hints of linden blossom and minerality.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied with superb balance and energy. Vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavours are complemented by floral notes, a delicate saline minerality, and a gentle hint of aromatic herbs. The richness of Marsanne is beautifully offset by the freshness of Bourboulenc and the perfume of Viognier, creating a wine of remarkable harmony and elegance.
Structure
Finish
Long, refined and mineral-driven, with lingering citrus, floral notes and a beautifully balanced saline freshness.
Coudoulet Blanc is one of the Rhône Valley's hidden gems. Produced with the same meticulous attention to detail that has made Château de Beaucastel one of France's most celebrated estates, it delivers remarkable purity, texture and complexity. Elegant enough for fine dining yet approachable in its youth, it is a benchmark white Rhône that consistently offers outstanding value.
The 2023 vintage benefited from a mild winter, a dry spring, and a warm summer that allowed for ideal ripening while preserving freshness. Careful harvesting and gentle winemaking produced a wine of excellent concentration, vibrant acidity, and exceptional balance. The vintage is characterised by both richness and precision, promising excellent ageing potential.
