Description

chevron-down

Château de Beaucastel is located in a magical setting dotted with vineyards, centuries-old olive trees and truffle oaks. Beaucastel, that is the most famous wine of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Here you will find nature in its purest form and its power comes to rest. The typical rolled boulders are the secret of its vineyards in which gnarled vines grow in traditional 'gobelet' shapes. On this ancient soil we find the 13 grape varieties that are permitted in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. All these 13 grape varieties form the basis of the mythical blends of Château de Beaucastel, where they are grown biodynamically. They are one of the last to make use of the richness and complexity that this blend offers.

The history of Beaucastel starts in the early 17th century. The Perrins appeared in the early 20th century. We are now five generations further and there is a global company in the field of quality wines. From very affordable to the absolute top. Everything about the vision, technique and vineyard management that has given Beaucastel the coveted global top position applies to the vineyards and the wines with the other appellations of origin, such as Ventoux, Luberon, Cotes du Rhone, Gigondas, Vinsobres, Rasteau and Vacqueyras. While retaining its own character; the differences between the wines are large and prove the respectful working method

The Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin is a great wine. It is a blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and Syrah and the rest Counoise, all from very old vineyards. Only a very limited number of bottles of this top version of Beuacastel are made and this should not be missing in a top wine collection. In the Wine-Advocate review, Jeb Dunnuck writes that he didn't have the heart to spit out this wine during the tasting!!

In the glass it has a deep black-ruby red color. The wine has incredible minerality along with black and blue fruits, forest soil and leather. Full-bodied, ink-stained, concentrated with serious tannin so let it rest in the cellar for a while and this version certainly has a drinking window until 2045+ As they say at Chateau Beaucastel, this is "A wine to be kept for your retirement"

This version is a magnum in OWC/1
