The crown jewel of Beaucastel, made only in standout vintages in honor of Jacques Perrin, who handed the estate to his sons Jean-Pierre and François in 1978. It's built on Mourvèdre (about 60%) from the same parcel every year, rounded out with Grenache and Syrah (about 20% each), all from organically farmed vines. The 2022 is a ripe, generous year in the vein of 2019 and 2009, and this is one of the stars of the vintage: deep color, dark and red fruit, floral lift, savory spice, and the dense, velvety structure Hommage is known for. Cellar-worthy for decades, and a bottle to build a dinner around.
98+ Points
"The 2022 Hommage à Jacques Perrin from Château de Beaucastel is a spectacular and immense wine, representing a great evolution of this cuvée toward increased finesse and precision over the years. It exhibits a complex, elegant bouquet of mulberries, lilac, smoke, spices, wild strawberries and dark cherries. Full-bodied, concentrated and dense, it delivers multidimensional depth at its core, controlled power and structured but velvety tannins with precise, seamless texture, culminating in a long, mineral, penetrating finish. This blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, 10% Syrah and 10% Counoise is a testament to its perfect adaptation to climate change. It is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts"
