Hommage 2013
à Jacques Perrin
“The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin
is a beast of a wine that’s shed most of the baby fat it showed
from barrel. A normal blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache,
and the rest Syrah and Counoise, this tiny production release
has incredible minerality to go with searing black and blue
fruits, forest floor, smoked earth and leather. Full-bodied, inky,
concentrated and backwards with a serious kick of tannin, it will
need a decade of cellaring to be approachable. I suspect it will
have 2-3 decades of longevity.”
