Decanter: "US winery makes history with ‘Châteauneuf-du-Pape grapes’"
In a new article, Decanter's Chris Mercer celebrates our release of Muscardin and our completion of the Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape collection. From his article:
From the start, Tablas Creek has imported and propagated grape varieties grown at Beaucastel. Its first plantings, in 1994, included Mourvèdre, Grenache and Grenache Blanc, Syrah, Counoise and Roussanne.
Next came Picpoul Blanc in 2000, followed by Terret Noir and Clairette Blanche (2010), Picardan (2013), Vaccarèse, Cinsault and Bourboulenc (2016), and, finally, Muscardin in 2019.
Its 14-strong, single-varietal range covers each of these.
