2021 Coudoulet De Beaucastel Cotes du Rhone Rouge 750ml

Tasted as a representative sample that was blended from several foudres, the 2021 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet de Beaucastel looks to be another sensational example of this wine. Sourced just outside the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, it’s full-bodied yet silky and long, with standout aromas of lavender and crushed stone backed by layers of cherry and berry fruit. Let’s hope the prices don’t escalate too much given the vintage’s low yields. Rated 94 Points Lisa's Staff.
