Château Beauchêne 2003 Premier Terroir Red (Côtes du Rhône)

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $11
From the oldest of the Bernard family’s vineyards, using vines planted in 1905, this is a seriously dense, concentrated wine, smooth and fruity. Sweet and rich, with fig and black fruit flavors, this wine can age well over the next 3–4 years.  — R.V.  (12/31/2006)

Château Beauchêne 2004 Le Sens de Syrah (Côtes du Rhône)

  • Best Buy
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $12
This is a blend of Syrah from two vineyard sites owned by the Bernard family to the north of Orange. It’s intensely perfumed, with concentrated, rich fruit that powers through the tannins. It’s ripe, but not too heavy or dense.  — R.V.  (12/31/2006)

Château Beauchêne 2007 Les Charmes Red (Côtes du Rhône Villages)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $17
This charmer starts with a gorgeously fresh nose of cut grass layered over notes of dried cherries and tobacco leaves. Squarely in the European, just ripe style, it's light and elegant in the mouth and winds down to a lingering cigar tone. Drink now.  — W.E.  (10/15/2010)

Château Beauchêne 2003 Grande Réserve Red (Côtes du Rhône)

  • Online Exclusive
A classic blend of southern Rhône grapes—Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan—this reflects the hot 2003 vintage but still manages to keep some restraint. The tannins hold the juicy, red berry fruit flavors together, while dry wood notes add complexity.  — R.V.  (12/31/2006)

For a simple Côtes du Rhône, this blend of 75% Grenache with Syrah is dense, smooth and supple. There are great red fruit flavors and soft tannins. This is ready to drink now, a fine barbecue wine.  — R.V.  (12/31/2006)

Château Beauchêne 2007 Premier Terroir Red (Côtes du Rhône)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
Give this one some time to breathe and you'll be rewarded with a generous nose of wild strawberries, vanilla and cedar. It's a bit more straightforward in the mouth but crisp and well-balanced with a gentle dusting of tannins.  — W.E.  (10/15/2010)
