Description
Rhône 2009 - Berrys Recommends
Consistently excellent, the 2009 Coudoulet de Beaucastel again punches well above its humble Cotes du Rhone classification. With lots of ripe fruit and warm spice and a lovely balance and length, this is a real crowd pleaser.
(Fergus Stewart, BBR Fine Wine)
Made from all thirteen varieties, this wine includes Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah as majority shareholders but when one tastes the other grapes, one can see how carefully the edifice has been constructed. Counoise lends smoky, tannic complexity for example; conversely the Cinsault is soft and elegant, adding a feminine touch. The ensemble promises to be a classic Beaucastel wine, with black fruits, truffles, spice and bitter chocolate all evidenced. This is symphonic in scope.

Critics reviews
Robert Parker 90/100
In total contrast, the 2009 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet red represents the essence of Provence in its notes of ground pepper, new saddle leather, lavender, kirsch, garrigue, and abundant red and black fruits. This complex, evolved, luscious red begs for a bloody grilled steak. With a creamy, medium to full-bodied texture, this gorgeous, complex, evolved wine should be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years.Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 31/10/2011
