Château de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Coudoulet Rouge 0.75 2020

Region : AOC Côtes du Rhône       The 30 hectares of Coudoulet are located just east of the vineyard of Beaucastel on the other side of the A7 motorway. For reasons that have now become obvious, Coudoulet is often considered the baby Beaucastel. The Coudoulet soil has many similarities to that of Beaucastel. It is made out of Molasse seabed covered by diluvial alpine deposits. These pebbles called “Galets Roulés” play a big role: They take in the heat during the day and let it if off slowly at night which gives a good start to the vines in the Spring.       Grape varieties : Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah & Cinsault       Tasting notes :         2018 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel features scents of sun-warmed stones and ripe raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, it's plush and open-knit, already giving a lot of pleasure, and finishing zesty and long.       Awards :        93 pts Robert Parker The Wine Advocate       90 pts Decanter
