Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2014 (Magnum)

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.

I was shocked at the quality of the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin and I can’t think of another wine that comes close to this level of depth, concentration and richness in the vintage. Its inky color is followed by sensational notes of roasted herbs, licorice, caramelized meats and layers of black and blue fruits. Rich, full-bodied, thick and unctuous, hats off to the Perrin family for this incredible effort! Give bottles 4-6 years of cellaring and drink over the following two decades. Drink: 2022-2042.

Inky ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes mineral-tinged dark fruit preserves and incense, and a sexy floral element gains power with air. Fleshy, seamless and sweet, offering intense blueberry, cherry liqueur and floral pastille flavors enlivened by juicy acidity. The floral note comes back emphatically with air and carries through an impressively long, youthfully tannic finish, which leaves a smoky mineral note behind. The alcohol here is quite low for the region, clocking in at 14.3%.

More forward and approachable than the 2013, the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin is nevertheless a massive wine that has more depth and concentration than just about every other wine in the vintage. A classic blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, and the rest Counoise and Syrah that was brought up in foudre, this full-bodied, forward, sexy effort has thrilling notes of black and blue fruits, beef blood, licorice, ground pepper, and bouquet garni. While a relatively accessible, charming vintage (by this cuvees standards anyway), it still needs 4-5 years of bottle age and is going to evolve beautifully on its balance, complexity, and length. It’s an awesome 2014. - JD 06/2019
