Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2016

Der von Mourvèdre, einer von Jacques Perrin rehabilitierten traditionellen Rebsorte der Region Châteauneuf-du-Pape, dominierte Wein zeigt eine aussergewöhnliche Konzentration. Ein Wein von grosser aromatischer Komplexität – schwarze Früchte, Gewürze, Leder … – mit feinen, edlen und eleganten Tanninen. Jeder seiner Jahrgänge mit hohem Reinheitsgrad reift langsam und entwickelt dank des beeindruckenden Alterungspotentials grosse Komplexität. Es ist ein vollwertiger Châteauneuf-du-Pape und gleichzeitig eine Interpretation, eine besondere Vision. Mit dem höchsten Respekt für das Terroir, das ihn hervorgebracht hat. Ein bemerkenswertes Terroir mit sehr alten Reben, die auf eine möglichst natürliche Art und Weise nach den Grundsätzen der Biodynamik gepflegt werden, die Jacques Perrin so am Herzen lagen.

Tasted three weeks after bottling, I couldn't quite bring myself to give the elusive three-digit score to this admittedly super wine. Perhaps once the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin has been in bottle a bit longer, as Mourvèdre seems to go into a bit of a funk when recently bottled. For now, it's merely profound, packing in savory, mossy nuances, hints of exotic dried spices like star anise and cardamom and layers of rich, plummy fruit that manage to be full-bodied and deliciously intense without being weighty or overwrought. Creamy, lush, intense and long, it's a tdf (tour de force) in CdP. - JC 08/2018

Deep vivid magenta. A highly complex bouquet displays candied black and blue fruits, incense and musky earth aromas; violet, licorice and Indian spice notes build in the glass. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering deeply concentrated, mineral-laced

A more savory, moody, strong expression. Deeply rich nose with minerals, flowers, wild herbs, tar, toasted spices and pepper. The dark berries have a smoky edge. Minerally edge, too, thanks to the 60 per cent mourvèdre. The palate has glossy, ripe and super-fine tannins in sheets. Deep-set, dark plums and blueberries in the finish. Noble tannins. Age-worthy.

The flagship is the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin, 75% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah, 10% Grenache, and the rest Counoise, brought up all in foudre. Blueberries, Peking duck, new saddle leather, black cherries, scorched earth, and an incredible sense of minerality all flow to a massive, concentrated, pure, perfectly balanced 2016 that is a prime example of the old saying, “an iron fist in a velvet glove.” It's a heavenly, perfect wine that's going to live for 30-50 years. Drink: 2022-2052.
