Description
 
Labeled by Parker as one of the World’s Greatest Wine Estates. Since 1909, the Perrins have been making wonders in the then little-known Southern Rhone Valley. Over the past 90 years or so, the rise in status for the Perrins lies in the consistency of their wines, their relentless pursuit of excellence and the incredible value they offer. Chateau de Beaucastel – Amongst the best in the Rhone Valley.

This is the top range of the Perrins family collection with Hommage CDP as one of the world’s most sought-after wines. Interestingly enough, even though many of the 2010 Perrin et Fils selections from the southern Rhone were scheduled to be bottled right after my visit, the 2010 Beaucastel had already been put in bottle. This is a gorgeous wine, a classic blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and the balance the other permitted varietals in the appellation. Deep purple, with loads of bouquet garni, beef blood, blackberry, kirsch, smoke and truffle, this wine is full-bodied, rich and showing even better than it did last year. I still think it needs 3-5 years of cellaring, and it should last for 25-30 years, as most of the top vintages of Beaucastel do. Wine Advocate 95

Dark, dense and very closed now, this has a tremendous core of crushed plum, linzer torte and blackberry confiture waiting in reserve. Ample singed cedar and mesquite, warm paving stone and black tea notes lurk in the background and glide through the finish. Features serious grip, but wonderful integration. Should cruise in the cellar. Best from 2016 through 2035. Wine Spectator 96, #8 Top 100 of 2013
