Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin 2021

Famille Perrin

Case Format: 3x75cl

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.

Jeb Dunnuck

A blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and the rest Syrah, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin is probably the wine of the vintage. Ripe red and black fruits, smoked meats, cedary garrigue, pepper, and other assorted wild aromatics define the bouquet, and its medium to full-bodied on the palate, with beautiful concentration, building tannins, and a great finish. It already has some accessibility, but there are enough tannins here to warrant 5-7 years of bottle age.

Cask sample. Pure and intense cassis, blackcurrant nose – a leafy and earthy crushed blue-fruit note beneath. A supple palate with a herbal savoury note, thrilling fresh acidity throughout and fine restrained and dusty tannins. The energy throughout is superb – excellent concentration of crushed cassis, earthy spice, liquorice and a layered, extremely long finish. So much energy and purity in this wonderful wine. (AC)
