The Wine

The 2021 Coudoulet de Beaucastel Blanc is a brilliant expression of southern Rhône white winemaking—fresh, textured, and elegantly aromatic. Often called the "baby Beaucastel," Coudoulet Blanc hails from vineyards just outside the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, and benefits from the same care and terroir-driven philosophy that define the legendary estate.
