There are famous estates—and then there are estates that define a region.
Beaucastel is firmly the latter.

“Hommage à Jacques Perrin” is not just Beaucastel’s crown jewel—it’s one of the great collector wines of the Rhône, full stop. Produced only in exceptional vintages and in microscopic quantities, this is a wine built to honor legacy, patience, and absolute conviction in terroir. The 2021 release is a masterclass in restraint and power: layered, commanding, and profoundly complete, with Beaucastel’s unmistakable signature of mineral depth, savory complexity, and seamless structure.

This is reference-point Châteauneuf-du-Pape at the highest level—serious cellar material with decades of evolution ahead, and the kind of bottle that defines moments when it’s finally opened. Allocations are always vanishingly small, demand is global, and opportunities like this don’t come often. If you collect great wine, this belongs in your cellar.

Why You’ll Love It

• A true reference wine: Hommage à Jacques Perrin sits at the absolute summit of Châteauneuf-du-Pape—rare, uncompromising, and built to define the category for decades.

• Power with precision: Immense depth and concentration, yet perfectly balanced—savory, mineral-driven, and effortlessly seamless rather than showy.

• Collector-grade longevity: Exceptional now with air, but structured to evolve beautifully for 20+ years in the cellar.

How to Serve It

• Decant with intention: 1–2 hours in a wide decanter to allow the layers to fully unfurl.

• Serve cool, not warm: Aim for ~60–62°F to preserve freshness and aromatic lift.

• Pair simply, confidently: Roast lamb, aged beef, or wild game—let the wine lead, not the recipe.
