chateau beaucastel hommage a jacques perrin 2019

"an emblematic figure of the rhone valley who was at the head of the estates of the perrin family until 1978 and the iconic château de beaucastel, jacques perrin has established himself as a free and visionary figure in the wine world. a pioneer, he initiated organic farming in the 1960s and biodynamic farming from 1974. he will also decide to highlight the culture of the mourvèdre, emblematic rhodanian grape. endowed with a unique style and an exceptional taste signature, the hommage à jacques perrin cuvée embodies the perfect terroir-grape matching sought by jacques perrin and the very definition of a grand vin. legendary châteauneuf-du-pape, the hommage à jacques perrin cuvée from the château de beaucastel is one of the greatest wines in the world. she brilliantly embodies the credo of the perrin family «a great wine is emotion and civilization, a myth that endures beyond time». the first vintage of this prestigious vintage was born in 1989. produced in very limited quantities, the cuvée hommage à jacques perrin comes from a unique terroir of pebbles rolled on clay-limestone and loam soils in an exceptional vineyard located at the northern limit of the châteauneuf-du-pape appellation, in the rhône valley. if the 2018 vintage was particularly wet, 2019 is marked by warm and dry conditions. solar, this low-yielding vintage (8hecto/hectare) gives rise to a powerful, concentrated, gourmet and intensely aromatic wine. this 2019 tribute to jacques perrin by château de beaucastel comes from a blend of mourvèdre (75%), syrah (10%), grenache (10%) and counoise (5%). the dress is a beautiful red color almost black."
