The “Baby Beaucastel” is no ordinary Cotes-du-Rhone. The Coudoulet vineyard is immediately adjacent to the Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape vineyard but was not included in the appellation created in 1936. On the same limestone plateau with the same “galets” the Coudoulet is a blend of 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah & 20% Cinsault made in the same way as the Beaucastel Chateauneuf. The main difference is that the Beaucastel Chateauneuf is extremely full-bodied, more structured and burdened with more alcohol.
