Château de Beaucastel is one of the most historic estates of the Southern Rhône and has been owned by the Perrin family for several generations. The château is renowned for producing some of the most age worthy wines of Châteauneuf du Pape, with vineyards planted on the famous galets roulés soils that help retain warmth and encourage full ripening of the grapes.
Hommage à Jacques Perrin is the estate’s flagship cuvée, created in tribute to Jacques Perrin and produced only in the finest vintages. The wine is made predominantly from old vine Mourvèdre with smaller proportions of Grenache, Syrah and Counoise, giving the wine remarkable depth, structure and longevity.
The 2020 vintage in Châteauneuf du Pape produced wines of excellent balance and concentration. At Beaucastel the result is a powerful yet refined wine that reflects both the pedigree of the estate and the character of the vintage.
