Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Hommage Jacques Perrin red 2022 Mathusalem 6L

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2022 is the estate’s most prestigious and sought-after cuvée, created in tribute to the visionary Jacques Perrin and his dedication to Mourvèdre. Awarded 98 points by Jeb Dunnuck, this exceptional vintage combines extraordinary depth, concentration and remarkable elegance. According to the estate, the blend comprises 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and 20% Syrah, sourced from old vines planted on Beaucastel’s celebrated terroir of rolled pebbles, clay, sand and limestone. The bouquet is intensely expressive, revealing ripe red and dark fruit, Provençal herbs, pepper, spice and distinctive savoury, meaty nuances. Full-bodied and powerful, the palate remains beautifully focused and precise, with building tannins, exceptional freshness and a long, mouthwatering saline finish. Dunnuck finds similarities with the estate’s outstanding 2009 vintage and highlights the wine’s ability to offer remarkable pleasure after relatively modest cellaring. A monumental Châteauneuf-du-Pape destined for serious collectors and lovers of the finest Southern Rhône wines.
