No such issue exists with the perfect 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin. I don't know what more a wine could offer. Inky blue/purple, with an extraordinary nose of smoked duck, grilled steaks, Provencal herbs, blackberries, blueberries, kirsch, licorice and truffle, enormously massive, concentrated, full-bodied and built for 30-50 years of cellaring, this wine, which is dominated by its Mourvedre component, is a tour de force, a spectacular, world-class wine. It is going to require some patience, though, and seems to need 4-5 years of cellaring. It should again be almost ageless in its potential. As I said last year, the Perrin family is a large one indeed, with brothers Jean-Pierre and Francois sitting at the top of the hierarchy and their four sons, Mathieu, Pierre, Thomas and Marc increasingly taking charge of their negociant business and their extensive estates throughout Southern Rhone. Now controlling over 1200 acres, as well as having a network of contracts, this operation is the equivalent of a major Southern Rhone train operating at high speed. Moreover, they are doing some incredible work in all price ranges. Other 2011s that the Perrin boys have produced include the following wines, which were very good across the board, especially for 2011s. In particular, readers need to take a hard look at their estate in Vinsobres, which is making the finest wines of that appellation, and more recently, what they are doing in Gigondas with the estate they purchased there, Clos des Tourelles. These are special wines. There are now three cuvees of Gigondas from the Perrins - the Gigondas La Gille, the Gigondas Vieilles Vignes and the Gigondas Clos des Tourelles. All three merit serious attention. Tasting the 2010s, which were all set to go into bottle right after my visit, certainly shows that this vintage is impressive, although I'm not sure that Marc and Pierre Perrin haven't done as good a job with their selections in 2011. Three cuvees of Gigondas look to all have outstanding potential and will probably be in bottle by the time this report is published.
Hersteller
Château de Beaucastel
Das Château de Beaucastel ist ein magischer Ort. Es ist umgeben von mit endlosen Weinbergen bestandenen Hügeln, hundertjährigen Olivenbäumen und Trüffeleichen – eine blühende, freie und entspannte Natur. Die alten Weinstöcke mit ihren knorrigen Wurzeln werden im tradtionellen Gobelet-Stil in dem für die Region typischen Boden erzogen, den große runde Kieselsteine bedecken. Wenn der Mistral, der legendäre Wind aus den Alpen, bläst, zieht er das Rhônetal hinunter und kühlt die Rebstöcke, wobei er die Aromen der Garrigue mit sich führt. Heute leiten die Söhne von Jacques Perrin, Jean-Pierre und François, das Gut, in dem alle Talente der Familie Perrin kulminieren. Hier folgt man strengen Gründungsprinzipien, wie dem Respekt vor dem Land und dem Terroir durch biodynamische Anbaumethoden, die das Streben nach Wahrheit, Balance und Eleganz untermauern. Auf uraltem Boden kultiviert das Château de Beaucastel dreizehn verschiedene in Châteauneuf du Pape wohlbekannte Rebsorten. Jeder Jahrgang ist einzigartig und eine außergewöhnliche Kombination aus Kraft, Struktur, Komplexität und Frische.
