Beaucastel is one of the top estates, if not the top estate, of Chateauneuf du Pape and also 1 of only 3 estates in the region to make use of all 13 grape varieties permitted under Chateauneuf du Pape appellation regulations.
The Perrin brothers harvest and vinify the thirteen varieties separately. Only the Syrah sees some new oak, the rest being stored in old foudres.
The grand vin is named Chateau de Beaucastel, there are, however, other wines. Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a Mourvèdre based cuvee only produced in the best vintages. There are also two white's from Beaucastel, both based on Roussanne, and bottled under the Chateauneuf du Pape AC. These are a straight white Chateau de Beaucastel Blanc, as well as a Roussanne Vieilles Vignes cuvée. The cépage for Beaucastel Blanc is 80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, which originate from a 7 hectare plot close to the Beaucastel property
