First released in 1989, ‘Hommage à Jacques Perrin’ is the flagship cuvée from the prestigious Château de Beaucastel. The 2018 vintage is dominated by Mourvèdre, making up 60% of the final blend. This is a rich and multi-layered wine – aptly termed ‘flamboyant’ by the Perrins – with huge savoury intensity, providing balance to the ripe, dark fruit.

Vinous
Inky ruby. Deep-pitched red and dark berry liqueur, candied violet, licorice and Moroccan spice scents show superb detail and a smoky mineral overtone. Densely packed and focused on the palate, offering powerful blueberry, bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors, along with chewing tobacco, floral pastille and fruitcake notes. Hangs on with serious persistence, steadily building tannins and reverberating florality. Two-thousand eighteen was a superb vintage for Mourvèdre, and it shows here, with that variety making up about a third of the blend. Josh Raynolds1st October 2021
