rafted only in exceptional vintages, Hommage Jacques Perrin represents the pinnacle of Chateau de Beaucastels winemaking legacy. The 2010 vintage is a powerful and profound expression of Chteauneuf-du-Pape, honoring Jacques Perrins dedication to authenticity, tradition, and terroir.
This rare cuve showcases an extraordinary concentration of old-vine Mourvdre, blended with Syrah, Grenache, and Counoise, creating a wine of remarkable depth and complexity. In the glass, it reveals an opaque ruby hue, with aromas of blackcurrant, wild herbs, smoked meat, licorice, and graphite. The palate is intense yet graceful, offering layers of dark plum, blackberry compote, truffle, and savory garrigue, framed by firm but silky tannins and a lingering mineral finish.
Structured for longevity, the 2010 vintage has the power to evolve beautifully over decades, making it a collectors treasure and one of the finest modern benchmarks of Chteauneuf-du-Pape.
