2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Château de Beaucastel, Rhône

Description

Grown from a single 110-hectare plot to the north of the appellation. A high proportion of Mourvèdre – here 30% – is a signature of the Perrin’s style, though this contains all 13 permitted varieties, including white. Juicy black cherries, blackberries and plums meet with liquorice, tar and black pepper on the nose. Succulent though poised, and mouth-wateringly silky.

About this wine

Mourvèdre

Mourvèdre, aka Monastrell in Spain, is a common blending partner of Syrah and Grenache (aka Garnacha in Spain). In Australia and California it can also appear under the name Mataro. Mourvèdre's bastion in France is Bandol, where it reigns supreme in the red blends and yielding a savoury, gamey, herby wine. It also commonly features in Southern Rhône, Languedoc & Rousillon blends.  The grape needs a warm climate to ripen fully. Its stronghold in Spain are the appellations along the south-east Mediterranean(Murcia, Jumilla, Bullas), where it produces rosé, dry red and sweet fortified wines. Monastrell has played a significant part in Spain’s vinous heritage; it nurtures wines that are deep in colour and richly tannic, sometimes overbearing in their intensity and concentration
