Note di degustazione
We shimmied over to the Southern Rhône for the exquisite 2000 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacque Perrin from Château de Beaucastel. Now at 23-years-of-age, it has a disarming nose of blackberry and redcurrants, just a touch of Band-Aid, courtesy of the 60% Mourvèdre, and a scintilla of Tuscan deli, one with sawdust sprinkled over the floor. The palate is medium-bodied with white pepper and clove, still quite youthful and nicely structured. With a brush of Provençal herbs towards the finish, I admire how this Beaucastel exudes typicité. It will continue evolving and repay cellaring over the next couple of decades.

Smoked red and black fruits, roasted meats, Provençal spices, truffle, and a street market-like perfume emerge from the 2000 Châteauneuf Du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin, a round, supple, gorgeously complex beauty that has so much to love. If the 1998 is more in the style of the 1989, this is more in the style of the 1990 and has this remarkably balanced, seamless style that builds beautifully with air. Full-bodied, deep, rich, and concentrated on the palate, it has flawless balance, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It has another 15-20 years of prime drinking followed by a gradual decline. Drink 2026-2046.
Gorgeously ripe red fruit, plus earth, milk chocolate, soft tannin, forest floor and a touch of boot polish that is probably related to something acetic but works really well in the mix of flavours. Long, impressive, expansive finish. Multi-layered and loaded with flavour. Very Rhône. Indefatigable! (RH)
The 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage À Jacques Perrin (60% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, 10% Counoise, and 10% Syrah) was singing! Open, upfront, sexy and seamless, with awesome notes of saddle leather, Provencal herbs, barnyard, spice and licorice-soaked black cherry and sweet cassis, it hit the palate with full-bodied richness, no hard edges, and an unctuous, heavenly texture. Reminding me of the 1990, yet perhaps just slightly less intense, this is a profound effort that will drink nicely for another two decades or more.

This Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate is one of the Rhône’s most famous addresses. With a history stretching back to the 16th century, Beaucastel remains family owned and run, with the fifth generation of the Perrin family – Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cécile, Charles, Matthieu and César – at the helm today.
