The property
An emblematic character 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 promote the cultivation of Mourvèdre, an emblematic Rhone grape variety. With a unique style and an extraordinary taste signature, the Hommage à Jacques Perrin cuvée embodies the perfect terroir-variety harmony sought by Jacques Perrin as well as the very definition of a Grand Vin.
The wine
Legendary wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Hommage à Jacques Perrin 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 silty soils in an exceptional vineyard located at the northern limit of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, in the Rhône Valley.
The vintage
2022 was marked by extreme weather conditions, with a very dry and warm winter and spring, promoting impeccable health of the vines. Despite uneven volumes depending on the plots, the quality of the grapes proved to be excellent, with beautiful aromatic complexity. The harvest began early, on August 19, under good conditions. Some rains in September required a light sorting without altering the quality of the berries.
Blend
Mourvèdre (60%), Syrah (20%) and Grenache (20%).
