Description
A blend, in roughly equal proportions, of Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah and 80-year-old Cinsault, the wine is intense in colour and richly concentrated; savoury notes and sweet dark cherry fruit join forces, with pepper, liquorice and spice box in reserve. Plenty of plush and polish and an almost Burgundian swagger. A triumphant wine, almost as popular as the senior wine and always a winner with Berry Bros. & Rudd staff! Drink 2019-2022.

Critics reviews
Joe Czerwinski 92+/100
The 2016 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel was bottled just two weeks before my visit, hence the plus sign attached to its rating. Planted just outside the boundaries of the Chteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, the vines here average 80 years old. Mouthwatering aromas of red fruit and spice lead the way, backed by a full-bodied wine that's creamy and lush but also silky and vibrant. As always, it's one of the best Ctes du Rhne wines from a given vintage.Joe Czerwinski - 31/08/2018
