" A flavorful, intense, and assertive expression. A deeply rich nose with mineral, floral, wild herb, tar, toasty spice, and pepper notes. Black berries reveal a smoky touch, along with a pronounced minerality thanks to the 60% Mourvèdre. On the palate, ripe, glossy, and remarkably fine tannins unfold in layers. The finish offers dark plums and deep blueberries. Noble tannins. Great aging potential. James Suckling, 100 points/100
"Deep, unfolding savory, mossy nuances, hints of dried exotic spices like star anise and cardamom, and layers of rich, plum-like fruit—both powerful and intensely delicious without ever seeming heavy or excessive. Creamy, opulent, intense, and long, this is a true tour de force in Châteauneuf-du-Pape." The Wine Advocate, 99+ points/100
The Perrin family needs no introduction to Rhône wine lovers, given the resounding success of Château de Beaucastel . Their Hommage à Jacques Perrin cuvée, made from Mourvèdre grapes, is produced in small quantities and was created in 1989. It is one of the greatest wines of France , and its stature is well deserved.

The Château de Beaucastel vineyard stretches across varied soils, composed primarily of clay and limestone, which promote deep roots and excellent drainage. The vines, some several decades old, benefit from a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. This diversity of terroirs allows for the cultivation of a multitude of grape varieties, each contributing its own unique character to the wine. Environmentally friendly viticultural practices ensure sustainable viticulture, preserving biodiversity and the quality of the grapes.
