Kirjeldus

Hommage a Jacques Perrin valmistatakse Chateau de Beaucasteli veinimõisa kõige parematest punaveini vaatidest ja vaid erakordsetel saagiaastatel. Vein on pühendatud Perrin’i perekonnapea Jacques Perrin’ile, kes suri 1978. aastal. Tema erakordse töö tulemusena kuulub veinimaja täna maailma parimate veinitootjate hulka ning ta oli teerajajaid kogu piirkonna veinitööstuses. Jacques Perrin oli ka üks esimesi veinimeistreid kogu Prantsusmaal, kes alustas “biodünaamilise” põlluviljelemise kasutamist oma viinamarjaaedades ning kes taastutvustas piirkonna veinitööstusele Mourvedre viinamarjasordi, kus samal ajal domineeris kõrgema saagikusega Grenache. Sisuliselt on antud veini puhul tegemist austusavaldusega Jacques Perrin’ile ja Mourvedre’le.

Veini valmistamiseks kasutatakse põhiliselt väga vanade ja ülimadala saagikusega Mourvedre veinipuude marju (60 aasta vanused), veini kogutoodang on umbes 3000 pudelit. Veini assamblage koosneb 60% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, 10% Syrah ja 10% Counoise viinamarjasortidest, erand oli 1998. aastakäik kui Grenache andis erakordse tulemuse ja moodustas 60% segust ja Mourvedre 20%. Vein võib oma nooruses olla mõnevõrra monoliitne ja jõuline, kuid veini komplekssus, maitsetesügavus ja küpsemispotentsiaal väljenduvad alles pikkade aastate jooksul.

Värvuselt sügav mustjas rubiinpunane, aroomis tunda musta kirssi, mustsõstramoosi, mustikat, lagritsat, mineraalsust, vürtse, sadulanahka, ulukinahka, pisut suitsusust ja isegi meditsiinilisi nüansse. Maitse on esialgu ülimalt intensiivne ja lihav, pisut magusa nüansiga, tõmbudes seejärel tagasi, muutudes ümaraks ja värskeks, mustade puuviljade plahvatuslik maitse. Tanniinid on väga jõulised, oma nooruses võib vein tunduda mõnevõrra isegi karm. Väga hea balansseeritusega, lõppmaitse ekstreemse kontsentratsiooniga, erakordselt kauakestev püsiv lõppmaitse. Veini küpsemispotentsiaal on erakordselt kõrge, isegi 25 – 40 aastat.

Alates 2009. aastakäigust müüakse Hommage a Jacques Perrin’i läbi väga valitud Bordeaux negociantide, ning sellest veinist sai esimene Prantsuse vein väljaspool Bordeaux’d, mida Place de Bordeaux kaudu müüakse.

“Marvelously complex, deeply fruited and massively concentrated yet wonderfully drinkable, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin challenges the number of superlatives that can be thrown at it. Scents of violets, tree bark, truffle, purple raspberries and blackberries all appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich, dense and velvety, and the finish shows enormous richness and length. Breathtaking stuff. Always one of the highlights of my visits in Chateaneuf du Pape, the cellars at Beaucastel were a bit dusty when I arrived, as the long-awaited expansion had just gotten underway. Built using the latest practices in sustainability and conservation, it’s expected to be completed in 2024. The 2021 Syrah had just been picked, and the expectation was that the Grenache would be harvested beginning the following day. Something worth noting, although the family doesn’t actively promote it, is that Beaucastel’s farming has been certified organic since 1966, and the vineyards have been farmed along biodynamic principles since 1974 (although not certified as such).” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 100 points

“The tiny production 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin is the customary blend of roughly 60% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache, and the rest Syrah and Cinsault that’s brought up in foudre. One sexy, powerful, full-bodied Southern Rhône, it sports a dense purple hue as well as a kaleidoscope-like array of blueberry, scorched earth, candied violets, pepper, and some almost northern Rhône-like meaty, smoky nuances. Full-bodied and incredibly pure, with a stacked mid-palate and ripe, supple tannins, it’s another vintage of this cuvée that will undoubtedly offer pleasure in it youth yet won’t hit prime time for a solid 7-8 years, and it should see its 30th birthday in fine form.” Jeb Dunnuck 99 points

“Glass-staining ruby. A deeply perfumed bouquet features black raspberry, cherry liqueur, boysenberry, exotic spice and floral scents that show outstanding definition and smoky mineral lift. Sweet and penetrating in the mouth, offering wonderfully concentrated black and blue fruit preserve, violet pastille, spicecake and savory herb flavors that possess unlikely vivacity for their depth. The strikingly long, floral- and spice-driven finish is shaped by steadily building tannins that play nicely with the wine’s intense fruit.” Antonio Galloni Vinous 98 points

“This is really packed, with a stunning core of pure violet, raspberry and plum pâte de fruit flavors that glide through seductively, belying the power that’s in reserve, thanks to a well of singed alder and mesquite, worn leather and warm stone notes.The finish cuts a broad and deep swath, with the fruit showing serious staying power and superior definition.” Wine Spectator 98 points

“Such beautiful black cherries, fresh earth, sage, basil and flowers on the nose, following through to a medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and an attractive, lightly chewy finish. This is very long and fresh with balance and purity. Give it five or six years to come around and show itself. ” James Suckling 96 points

“Gorgeous perfume just jumps out the glass here, strongly scented and inviting. This is succulent and sweet, with an almost cherry kirsch, alcohol kick to this but in an excellent way. Mouthwatering and brimming with energy, there’s depth, spicy edges and a silky smooth mid palate. It’s seductive and heady while also complex, nuanced and layered. A long life ahead.” Decanter 96 points
