Château de Beaucastel is one of the oldest and finest estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. 1989 saw the debut release of the flagship wine, Hommage a Jacques Perrin, which is only made in the best years and has production of around 350 cases on average.
The 2017 is a blend based on an unusually high proportion of Mourvedre, which was of exceptional quality due the extra heat of the vintage. It is incredibly full-bodied and rich, with superlative tannic structure and immense concentration of fruit. Though it is a little early to contemplate drinking just yet, this will undoubtedly evolve into something even more extraordinary.

Vinous
Glass-staining ruby. Dark berry preserves, cherry cola, Moroccan spices and licorice on the intensely perfumed, mineral-accented nose. Palate-staining, sharply focused black/blue fruit, spicecake and candied violet flavors show superb energy for their depth. Picks up mocha and succulent herb nuances with air. it finishes extremely long and smoky, with resonating floral and spice notes and mounting tannins.Josh Raynolds1st October 2021
