Château de Beaucastel : Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2022

An iconic red wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape combining refinement and vivacity

The property

An emblematic figure of the Rhône Valley who was at the head of the Perrin family estates until 1978 and of the iconic Château de Beaucastel, Jacques Perrin established himself as a free and visionary figure in the wine world. A pioneer, he initiated organic farming in the 60s and biodynamics from 1974. He also decided to bring back the cultivation of mourvèdre, an emblematic Rhone grape variety. With a unique style and an extraordinary taste signature, the Hommage à Jacques Perrin cuvée embodies the perfect terroir-variety harmony sought by Jacques Perrin as well as the very definition of a Grand Vin.

The wine

Legendary wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Hommage à Jacques Perrin from Château de Beaucastel is among the greatest wines in the world. It brilliantly embodies the credo of the Perrin Family "A Grand Vin is emotion and civilization, a myth that endures beyond time". The first vintage of this prestigious cuvée was born in 1989. Produced in very limited quantities, the Hommage à Jacques Perrin cuvée comes from a unique terroir of rolled pebbles on clay-limestone and silty soils in an exceptional vineyard located at the northern limit of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, in the Rhône Valley.

Grape variety

Mourvèdre, syrah and grenache.
