An incredibly complex wine, both on the nose and palate. A dry Chardonnay, having a slightly sulfuric tinge when first opener, fading to a beautiful mix of sous bois, lemon curd, wet stones. The same is mirrored on the palate, but with a dash of cayenne, eucalyptus, and a bit of petrol. Gorgeous and worth the money. — 3 years ago
I am a big fan of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and every bottle I’ve enjoyed from Beaucastel has been a wonderful representation. However, this is my first time trying the Hommage as they can be hard to find and come at a significantly higher price-point. The Hommage, as the name states, is made in honor of Jacques Perrin and comes from the best vines on the property.
Our wine today is opaque medium ruby in color with pale ruby variation toward the edges of the glass. Slightly tight on the nose, we let this decant while my friend and I enjoyed a different bottle. Once the wine opened, the nose offered aromas of dusty pomegranate, graphite, sous bois, wet gravel, mushroom, and cigar ash. This is another wine I could smell all day. Since that’s not the main point of wine, the palate showcases notes of chewy cherry, red licorice, tobacco, soggy earth, and green underbrush. A beautiful bottle with plenty of gas left in the tank, this is full-bodied with moderately high acidity, fully integrated mild tannins, and a long finish that really made me wish we had more with my last sip. — 3 years ago

Robe rubis foncée brillante
Nez assez réservé avec une fruit rouge assez mat et qq notes d épices et de bois mais immédiatement classe et de grand cru de pinot noir .... mais ou?
Bouche dense mais fraîche et cristalline avec un développement en longueur tirant loin quelle énergie
Incroyable pour l année et le vigneron je trouve
Un 95/100 ce soir mais il est très loin d avoir tout donner10 ou 15 le sublimeront
