This wine is a tribute to the former cellar master Jacques Perrin of Château de Beaucastel, and is considered one of the best - perhaps even the very best - Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Made from the oldest vines of this legendary estate, which are in fact still ungrafted, the cuvée consists of 75% Mourvedre, 10% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 5% Counoise. In fact, one can only genuflect before this wine, as it is the intrinsically flawless essence of what constitutes an elegant and exceptional representative of the Rhône region.
The 2018 Hommage Perrin Beaucastel Châteauneuf is an iconic wine and its complexity, finesse and breed are awe-inspiring. This starts on the nose, which combines such an intensive depth of dark berry with floral notes, cherry, peach and mango as well as a beautiful minerality that you'll constantly be discovering new, remarkably dense and intricately interwoven aromas. This continues on the palate with great depth and freshness, still dominated by the fragrant fruit and framed with a bit of salt, licorice, and strong yet exquisite and sophisticated tannins. The finish approaches infinity and once again reflects the concentration that we have already experienced on the palate.
This wine is a marathon runner and requires several more years of ageing in the cellar to ensure that you can fully appreciate its superlative hedonism. However, as already predicted, it will also bring joy to the heirs of today's wine connoisseurs with its longevity.
The wine critics are raving about the Hommage Perrin Beaucastel Châteauneuf 2018: Parker: 99/100; Jeb Dunnuck: 97/100; Decanter: 97/100; Galloni: 97/100.
