Wine from the Rhône Valley

Château de Beaucastel Hommage Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2018

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.

Château de Beaucastel Hommage Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020

Dedicated to the former cellar master of Château Beaucastel, the 2020 Château de Beaucastel "Hommage à Jacques Perrin" is a legendary representative of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, if not the leader of these renowned wines.Produced according to biodynamic principles, the 2020 is also the essence of what can be understood as the purest and truest expression of its terroir. 2020 was not as hot a year as 2019 in the southern Rhône, but did not offer difficult weather conditions, but a constant, slightly windy climate. The harvest could be carried out without time pressure, so that plot by plot could be harvested for the best ripeness.75% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 10% Grenache and 5% Counoise make up the cuvée, which is of great complexity, rich in black fruits, ripe oranges, cigar, spring flowers and lots of spices. At this point, James Suckling should be quoted, who ascribes "myriad nuances" to the grape juice. Decanter calls it "stylish and seductive", while Robert Parker even predicts that it will achieve a three-digit score.An outstanding Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with correspondingly fabulous ratings:James Suckling 99/100Decanter: 98/100Robert Parker: 97-99/100

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina AOC 2021

Der Clos Saint Jean Deus ex machina 2021 ist eine Wein-Ikone des renommierten Weingutes Clos Saint Jean, aus der renommierten Appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Die Bezeichnung "Deus ex machina", was soviel bedeutet wie "Gott aus der Maschine", versinnbildlicht eine Wendung zum Guten hin, die Lösung eines Problems oder einfach nur die Änderung einer Situation durch etwas Unvorhergesehenes. In diesem Falle war es das Erscheinen des Önologen Phillipe Cambie im Jahre 2003, der den Stil von Clos Saint Jean radikal zu einem noch hochwertigeren, individuellerem Charakter umformte und es verstand, das Optimum aus dem ohnehin genialen Terroir herauszuholen.Der Deus ex machina stammt von der Weinbergslage La Crau im Norden des Châteaus, der mit über 100 Jahre alten Grenache-Weinstöcken bepflanzt ist. Die Cuvée besteht dementsprechend aus 60% Grenache und 40% Mourvedre. Der Ausbau erfolgt in Edelstahlfässern mit Nachreifung in neuer Eiche.Der Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus ex machina 2021 erfreut das Auge mit einem dunklen Violet. Die Nase duftet nach Schwarzkirschen, Trüffeln, neuem Leder, Veilchen und viel Kräutern, Rauch, mit Spuren von Zedern und etwas Vanille durch den Einsatz des Neuholzes bei der Nachreifung. Der Gaumen ist hochintensiv, konzentriert, aber dennoch sehr cremig und samtig, in einem insgesamt sehr opulenten, aber dennoch frischen Stil. Dieses wird gespiegelt durch den extrem langen Nachhall.Ein rassiger Châteauneuf-du-Pape, mit hohen Erwartungen, die er mehr als erfüllt. Er wird ab ca. 2024-2028 trinkreif sein, mit einer ausgesprochen langen Lebensperspektive.Robert Parker 98/100 ("strong candidate for best wine of the vintage"); Jeb Dunnuck 96/100.

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous AOC 2020

Der Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous 2020, hergestellt aus Trauben der Hügellage "La Crau" vom Châteauneuf-du-Pape Weingut Clos Saint Jean, wird oftmals als Kultwein oder Ikone beworben. Wir halten ihn schlichtweg für einen der herausragenden Châteauneuf-du-Pape Weine überhaupt, vinifiziert von der inzwischen fünften Generation der Maurels, den Besitzern von Clos Saint Jean. Ihr Vorfahre, Edmont Tacussel, hatte diese Lage zwischen 1905 und 1910 bepflanzt, und diese Reben stehen dort immer noch. Da der Weinberg so durchsetzt war mit riesigen Kieseln und es mit dem Pferd eigentlich aussichtslos war, hier Weinbergsarbeit zu betreiben, wurde die Lage "La Combe des Fous" genannt, der Hügel der Verrückten. Letztlich stellte sich dieser Rebberg als eine, wenn nicht die beste Lage der ganzen Gegend heraus, und die Weine, die von hier stammen, sind Châteauneuf-du-Pape der Spitzenklasse.Höchst geringer Ertrag, Handlese und über 100 Jahre alte Reben machen hier den Stoff aus, aus dem Träume sind. Die Assemblage besteht aus 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah 10% Cinsault und weiteren 10% Vaccarese. Der Grenache wird übrigens im 600 Liter-Holzfass ausgebaut, die anderen Rebsorten geniessen eine Nachreifung für 12 Monate in neuen Eichenfässern.In der Nase ein äußerst pikanter Charme mit Anklängen von Waldbeeren, viel Schwarzkirsche, Pflaume, Lavendel, Wildkräuter, Schlehe, Tabak, schwarze Oliven und Tee. Der Gaumen ist fein aufgelöst, sehr ausdrucksvoll, würzig und elegant und zu den zuvor erwähnten Aromen gesellen sich Pralinen, Salz und Grapefruit. Das alles steht in perfekter Harmonie zueinander, schön ausgewogen und balanciert, nichts, was hier zu dominant oder gar erschlagend wirken könnte. Das Terroir ist einfach so genial und magisch, dass hier alles seinen Platz findet. Der Nachhall ist überwältigend lang.

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous AOC 2021

The Clos Saint Jean Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous 2021, made from grapes from the "La Crau" hillside vineyard of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Clos Saint Jean, is one of the outstanding Châteauneuf du Pape wines of recent years. Vincent and Pascal Maurel, now the fifth generation of the Maurel family, are unwaveringly continuing the tradition of the renowned château. Their ancestor, Edmont Tacussel, planted this site between 1905 and 1910, and the vines are still there today. As the vineyard was so riddled with huge pebbles and it was actually hopeless to work the vines here on horseback, the site was named "La Combe des Fous", the hill of the madmen. In the end, this vineyard turned out to be one of, if not the best vineyard in the entire region, and the wines that come from here are top-class Châteauneuf-du-Pape.Very low yields, hand-picking and vines over 100 years old are the stuff dreams are made of. The blend consists of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and a further 10% Vaccarese. The Grenache is aged for 9 months in concrete tanks, while the other grape varieties are matured for 9 months in exclusively new oak barrels.Lots of fruit on the nose; very black berry, spicy, cassis, lots of black cherry, herbs, some forest floor, tea, tobacco and mocha. The palate is fresh, harmonious and well-balanced. Tannins and acidity are elegantly and delicately balanced with the impressive fruit aromas. The finish is wonderfully long and makes the 2021 La Combe des Fous a lasting experience.
