The power and aromatic richness of an emblematic wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The estate
An emblematic figure of the Rhône Valley who was at the head of the Perrin family estates until 1978 and of the iconic Château de Beaucastel, Jacques Perrin established himself as a free and visionary figure in the wine world. A pioneer, he initiated organic farming in the 60s and biodynamics from 1974. He also decided to bring back the cultivation of mourvèdre, an emblematic Rhone grape variety. Endowed with a unique style and an extraordinary taste signature, the Hommage à Jacques Perrin cuvée embodies the perfect terroir-grape match sought by Jacques Perrin as well as the very definition of a Grand Vin.
The wine
Legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Hommage à Jacques Perrin cuvée from Château de Beaucastel is among the greatest wines in the world. It brilliantly embodies the credo of the Perrin Family "A Grand Vin is emotion and civilization, a myth that endures beyond time". The first vintage of this prestigious cuvée was born in 1989. Produced in very limited quantities, the Hommage à Jacques Perrin cuvée comes from a unique terroir of rolled pebbles on clay-limestone and loamy soils in an exceptional vineyard located at the northern limit of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, in the Rhône Valley.
The vintage
If the 2018 vintage was particularly wet, 2019 is marked by hot and dry conditions. Solar, this vintage with low yield (8hecto/hectare) gives birth to a powerful, concentrated, gourmet and intensely aromatic Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine.
Blend
Mourvèdre (75%), syrah (10%), grenache (10%) and counoise (5%).
