2015 Hommage a Jacques Perrin

The 2015 vintage was preceded by the nimbus of having been close to perfect in terms of climate. However, we also know that it was far too hot for many vines in July, especially in young vineyards, and that many wines from the southern Rhone lacked a little verve this year. The Hommage a Jacques Perrin from Beaucastel is now from old vineyards that are watched over with Argus eyes. So you can really expect to find the best of what was vinified in the magical 2015 vintage in Chateauneuf in one bottle. The wine marks a historic high point in the pathos of the estate.
