Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin, Chateau de Beaucastel 2018

‘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’ 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck
