Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2011 — Château de Beaucastel
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2011 from Château de Beaucastel is one of the most emblematic and sought-after cuvées of the southern Rhône. Deeply marked by Mourvèdre, it combines controlled power, freshness, aromatic complexity and great elegance, in an expression that is already evolved yet still remarkably vibrant.
Terroir: Beaucastel, Mourvèdre and profound Rhône depth
Hommage à Jacques Perrin represents the rarest and most ambitious expression of Château de Beaucastel. Produced from a selection of very old vines, it offers a deep, structured and long-lined vision of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with Mourvèdre playing a central role as one of the great ageing varieties of the southern Rhône.
The 2011 vintage gives a reading that is more elegant than massive, with fine freshness, silky tannins and already well-defined complexity. The wine retains serious structure, but stands out above all for its refinement, poise and ability to continue evolving favourably in bottle.
Tasting notes
Appearance: deep red with garnet and dark ruby reflections, showing discreet evolution that underlines the wine’s gradual maturity.
Nose: complex and refined, with truffle, bark, red raspberry, cherry, dark fruits, sweet spices, garrigue and warm earth. With aeration, nuances of fine leather, tobacco, Mediterranean undergrowth and dried herbs may appear.
Palate: medium to full-bodied, carried by fine freshness, silky tannins and deep yet perfectly controlled substance. The finish is long, refined and persistent, leaving an impression of elegance, complexity and great poise.
