1978 at the exemplary Château de Beaucastel was notable for two reasons. Firstly, and sadly, as the year of the death of Jacques Perrin, father of the present generation and widely considered one of the Rhône's most talented winemakers. Secondly, on a more positive note, as the year in which one of the finest ever vintages was produced. A massive, tannic, giant of a wine with decades of life remaining. The wines of Beaucastel are never filtered
