Critic Scores

Extremely aromatic with blueberries, blackberries, and flowers. Full- bodied, dense, and rich yet agile and exciting. The tannins are seamless and beautiful. The finish shows stones and spices. The ancient mourvedre in the blend gives this wine elegance. Incredible depth. So drinkable now but goes on for minutes. Fantastic Hommage from a more challenging vintage.

The same can be said for the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin, as this insanely impressive barrel sample transcends the vintage. Full-bodied, decadent and layered, with massive concentration and purity, it’s loaded with black and blue fruits, violets, truffle, licorice and assorted floral notes. This cuvee always shows fabulous fruit in its youth, and it doesn’t start to gain its hallmark gaminess until after a few years in bottle. In addition, this cooler vintage, with its ample moisture and autumn summer, produced Mourvedre with off-the-charts aromatic purity and perfect ripeness. It will clearly be in the top 1-2 wines and will have 3-4 decades of longevity.

Glass-staining purple. An explosively perfumed bouquet of fresh black and blue fruits, incense, candied licorice and violet, with a smoky mineral element adding vivacity. Sweet, penetrating and pure, offering intense, palate-staining blackcurrant and black raspberry flavors lifted and sharpened by juicy acidity. Gains flesh and weight with air while maintaining urgency and finishes sappy, smoky and very long, with fine-grained tannins building slowly.

Six years after vintage, this is just starting to take on some secondary development: a little earthiness to the berry fruits. Full-bodied, quite a muscular, butch year for Hommage. Distinctly tannic and the acidity is marked - this will take time to soften, you could decant and drink with a steak now but wait if you can until around 2023; there is better to come. Impressive length, but the tannins are really quite grainy.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

The 2013 Hommage à Jacques Perrin exemplifies Beaucastel's commitment to quality-first viticulture across its 100-hectare biodynamically farmed estate. Like all estate releases, it derives from parcels managed under organic protocols (since 1950) and biodynamic methods (since 1974). The 2013 growing season saw cooler conditions with moderate summer warmth, requiring careful fruit selection to ensure optimal ripeness. The Perrin family's four-generation commitment to terroir-driven winemaking ensured only the finest parcels contributed to this limited-production cuvée.

Vinification

Grapes are fully destemmed and undergo separate maceration by variety in enamel-coated vats, receiving Beaucastel's proprietary thermal treatment (80°C for approximately 20 seconds) to enhance freshness and manage fermentation. Post-fermentation, components age distinctly: Syrah in new French oak barrels for subtle oak integration, other varieties in large, old foudres for one year of slow maturation. Precise blending occurs after full component assessment, balancing each variety's contribution for harmony and complexity. The resulting wine displays the hallmark Beaucastel character: clean, structured, and built for long cellar ageing.
