Description
The freshness and balance of a white wine from the Rhône Valley
The estate
Established in the 16th century, Château de Beaucastel was taken over in the early 20th century by Pierre Tramier. His son-in-law, Pierre Perrin, gave the estate fresh momentum, while Jacques Perrin greatly expanded its international reputation. Today, Jacques Perrin’s sons and grandsons continue this family estate’s pursuit of excellence, making it one of the most emblematic producers of wines from the Rhône Valley.
