Tasting Notes
The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is on track to rank alongside the spectacular 2020. This year, the final blend is 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and the remainder equally split between Syrah and Counoise. The magnificent result bursts with intense spice box, licorice, blackberry jam, blackcurrant, crushed flowers, forest strawberry and peppercorn. Savory to the core, the tightly structured 2022 is an ambitious Hommage à Jacques Perrin that walks off the stage with an expansive finish.

Notes of cooked blueberries and liquorice on the nose. This has great palate weight and density, it’s so savoury. The tannins are really searching, and the acidity is driving. A big tannic seat, and a lovely sense of vibrancy and freshness to the fruit. This has enormous presence, it's a big, powerful, dense vintage of Hommage that will age for a very long time. Around 60% of the blend comes from old-vine Mourvèdre from the Courrieux vineyard. Grapes are destemmed, fermented in tronconic wooden vats using natural yeasts after a brief cold maceration, with regular punching down.
