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
