Château de Beaucastel, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Vallée du Rhône, Perrin & Fils, vin, France
Hommage
In 1989, 1990, 1994, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 conditions were so favourable that the Perrin family decided to make a special cuvée in honour of their father.
The Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin from those years was made mostly from very old Mourvedre vines yielding tiny quantities of intensely ripe, concentrated fruit. Those fortunate enough to have tasted this never forget it. Truly a "grand vin".
Tasting notes
Deep black-ruby colour. Profound aromas of black cherry, cassis, spice, leather and game, with an almost medicinal aspect.
Very sweet entry, then firm and closed, almost too hard on the palate today.
Extremely concentrated on the finish.
