This CDP wine features a dark ruby garnet color with violet reflections and a subtle lightening at the rim. The bouquet is nuanced with herbal spices, smoky minerality, fine dry spice notes, and black berry fruit accented by thyme and sage. Hints of saddle leather and undergrowth add complexity. On the palate, it is powerful and complex, with flavors of blueberry jam and black cherries supported by ripe, rounded tannins. Notes of candied violets and black truffles emerge, leading to a firm, long finish with a touch of animalistic spice. This wine has definite aging potential.

Chateau de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a monumental wine, made only in top vintages. The wine was first produced in 1989 as a tribute to Jacques Perrin, who died in 1978. Atypical for Chateauneuf-du Pape, the Hommage is a Mourvèdre dominant blend sourced from low-yielding old vines. Deeply concentrated and powerful, it possesses immense capacity to age.

Destemmed and tipped into a tonne fermenter. Gentle pump over and slow extraction until full dryness. Only the free run was placed into a 3 year old French oak barrel. Soft palate with extremely precise and thin tannins that caress and carry on the freshness and intensity.
