Coudoulet de Beaucastel Cotes-du-Rhone Red Rhone Blend
Côtes du Rhône, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Garnacha-led blend from Southern Rhône providing excellent value for the price point. Full bodied palette, deep ruby colour, good tension, and well-balanced tannins showcase the red and black fruit (black cherry, blueberry and blackberries), spice and chocolate.

Mid to deep crimson in colour. Notes of red cherry, raspberry and other red fruits together with a charcoal smoky note. The palate is medium plus bodied with those same savoury red fruits finishing with rather coarse tannins. I was expecting more given how good the producer is. “Baby Beaucastel “ as it is known. Will have the next in a year or two. Tasted 78 weeks later on 5th February 2022 with similar notes. A bit square sided.

Floral, redfruits peaking out but youthful and quite closed down at this time, medium-long finish, this needs further aging (5+ years or more).

Blend from Cotes-du-Rhone.
Requires experience,
Owing to terroir
A haiku for this review^
Tastes:
Cranberry, tartness, minerality/gravel or dry sand.
Or wait, let me try another one:
Falling maple leaves…
Cranberries and dark cherries,
Gravel and dry sand.

Lovely Cotes du Rhone blend of Grenache (40%), Mourvèdre (30%), Syrah (20%) and Cinsault (10%). Dark (almost purple) color. Nose is full of cooked red and black berry fruit, violets and baking spices. Cooked red fruits, blackberries and plums dominate the pallet. The baking spices are also present on the finish. Ample acidity and tannins. Plush and generous. Velvety smooth. Excellent!

2019 vintage. The backstory of this wine is essential. The powers that be pushed the A7 highway through Châteauneuf-du-Pape back in the day and relegated this wine/area to Côtes-du-Rhône status. Freeways/highways being the new geographical rivers/mountains/boundaries. Same soil. Same grapes. Same winemaking. The ‘19 vintage not to be missed in Southern (or Northern) Rhône. A “baby” Châteauneuf at roughly a third of the usual Beaucastel CDP pricing. Explosive, dark and dense fruit with particular emphasis on plummy qualities. Some sweetness due to the vintage. Absolutely lip-smacking and undeniably, super-drinkable.
