Château de Beaucastel, located in the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of France's Rhône Valley, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Since 1909, it has been meticulously managed by the Perrin family, who are renowned for their dedication to traditional winemaking practices and their emphasis on biodynamic agriculture. The 'Hommage à Jacques Perrin' cuvée, first introduced in 1989, is a tribute to the family's patriarch and showcases the estate's commitment to excellence.

Wine Description

The 2021 'Hommage à Jacques Perrin' is a masterful blend of approximately 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, and 20% Syrah. In the glass, it presents a deep, inky hue. The nose is complex, revealing aromas of truffle, tree bark, blackberry, and black cherry, complemented by hints of liquorice and peppery spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with multilayered fruit flavors, fine-grained tannins, and a refreshing lift on the long finish. This wine embodies balance, freshness, and remarkable complexity.
