Description

The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a monumental achievement from the Perrin family. Its kaleidoscopic nose kicks off with hauntingly fragrant rosewater, forest floor, kirsch, tobacco, lavender, ripe blackberry and black cherry compote. Crushed rocks add yet another layer of complexity. This ambitious red masterfully balances finesse and intensity with marked flavor concentration, culminating in an almost never-ending, nuanced resolution. Anyone fortunate enough to own this singular Châteauneuf-du-Pape can consider themselves really, really lucky. That said, I have a feeling the best is yet to come.

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck
98+/100
Tight, dense and backward, the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage Jacques Perrin was one of the least approachable wines in the lineup, yet certainly has incredible potential. Offering lots of liquid minerality, crushed rock, blueberry, truffle and cassis, its massive and concentrated on the palate, with building tannin, good acidity and a firm, focused feel that begs for cellaring. Hide these in the cellar for another decade.
