Château de Beaucastel Red

Château de Beaucastel's 70-hectare vineyard is situated on the northern side of the appellation, between Orange and Avignon. It possesses the typical soil composition of the greatest Châteauneuf-du-Pape estates, with a sublayer of clay and limestone topped with sand and clay containing the characteristic "Galets Roulés" – large, rounded pebbles that play a crucial role in temperature regulation. During the day, they absorb a significant amount of heat, which they then radiate back at night, thus protecting the budding vines in spring. The vineyards, exposed to the Mistral wind, have been organically farmed since the 1960s. The vines are half a century old.
