Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin 2019

Famille Perrin

Case Format: 1x75cl

Château de Beaucastel has the ability to trace its history back to the 1300s, when Pope Jean XXII ordered that four barrels of Châteauneuf be sent to him. Translating as “the Pope’s new castle”, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a region entwined with papal history.

Today Château de Beaucastel has continued to create spectacular wines with global acclaim. Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a legendary wine that has continued to push the estate to its winemaking limits. Cultivated on the Rhône’s complex terroir, its vines benefit from layers of marine molasses, covered in alpine alluvium.

Only made during the finest vintages, this Southern Rhône blend includes Mourvèdre from very old vines in their Courrieux vineyard. Considered one of the best wines in the world, this is an absolute favourite amongst critics, seeing their 2019 vintage receive a commendable 19/20 from Jancis Robinson.

Georgina Hindle

Gorgeous perfume just jumps out the glass here, strongly scented and inviting. This is succulent and sweet, with an almost cherry kirsch, alcohol kick to this but in an excellent way. Mouthwatering and brimming with energy, theres depth, spicy edges and a silky smooth mid palate. Its seductive and heady while also complex, nuanced and layered. A long life ahead.

60% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah, 20% Grenache. Deep ruby-purple in colour. This already has a brilliant nose. Peppery and deep, there are tones of blackberry, black cherry, rosemary, thyme, and layer upon layer of spice. The palate is just as impressive – deep and brooding dark fruit forms a foundation with ripe but plentiful tannins to bring real backbone and structure. This is layered with sweet and savoury spices and game, with high tones of white pepper and violets. This superbly complex, refined and serious wine is a knockout. Very impressive. (TP)
