Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin

Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin 2016

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.

Joe Czerwinski

Tasted three weeks after bottling, I couldnt quite bring myself to give the elusive three-digit score to this admittedly super wine. Perhaps once the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin has been in bottle a bit longer, as Mourvèdre seems to go into a bit of a funk when recently bottled. For now, its merely profound, packing in savory, mossy nuances, hints of exotic dried spices like star anise and cardamom and layers of rich, plummy fruit that manage to be full-bodied and deliciously intense without being weighty or overwrought. Creamy, lush, intense and long, its a tdf (tour de force) in CdP.

Deep crimson, from the outstanding vintage for the southern Rhône. Much more intense and focused than most Châteauneuf. Some very obvious sweetness. And then masses of tannin. Decidedly embryonic but with the sweet warmth of a Châteauneuf, albeit in bundled tightly into an iron corset.
