Chateau de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel Blanc 2022

Country: France
Region and Appellation: Rhône

Château de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Coudoulet de Beaucastel Blanc 2022 earned 94 points from James Suckling, who called it "a sensational white Côtes du Rhône" with "lots of toasted nuts, buttered baguette and a wide spectrum of candied fruit aromas". Often called "baby Beaucastel," this white wine blends 30% Bourboulenc, 30% Marsanne, 30% Viognier, and 10% Clairette from 3 hectares adjoining the legendary Beaucastel estate.

Organic Viticulture & Barrel Fermentation

Hand-picked and organically farmed, the wine undergoes pneumatic pressing with partial fermentation in oak barrels and steel tanks, aging 8 months before bottling without cold stabilization.

Citrus Elegance & Saline Depth

Beautiful gold with green undertones reveals citrus—lemon, grapefruit—white flowers, and lime blossom. The palate offers peach, apricot, pear, honey, and tropical notes with refreshing pear and melon. Medium-to-full-bodied and plump with chalky texture, saline notes, and a slightly dusty, lingering finish. The wine shows complexity with hay, walnut, and buttered bread characteristics. Fantastic balance and concentration. Exceptional value.
