Chateau de Beaucastel 2013, Châteauneuf du Pape, Hommage à Jacques Perrin
£299.95 per bottle
ABV 14.5%
"The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin is a beast of a wine that’s shed most of the baby fat it showed from barrel. A normal blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, and the rest Syrah and Counoise, this tiny production release has incredible minerality to go with searing black and blue fruits, forest floor, smoked earth and leather. Full-bodied, inky, concentrated and backwards with a serious kick of tannin, it will need a decade of cellaring to be approachable. I suspect it will have 2-3 decades of longevity."96+ Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
