Chateau de Beaucastel
Coudoulet de Beacastel Rouge 2016
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 Rouge'' 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.
Terroir :
Molasse seabed of the Miocene period covered by diluvial alpine deposits (rolled pebbles), identical to the vineyard of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Process :
Each variety is harvested manually and separately, then sorted in the cellar. The harvest is heated to 80�C (skins) and then cooled down to 20�C. Classic maceration occurs in cement tanks for 12 days. Pressing in pneumatic presses. Blending of the different varietals after malolactic fermentation. Ageing in Oak Foudres for 6 months.
