Production of the Hommage a Jacques Perrin 3.0l Double Magnum

The grapes for the Hommage a Jacques Perrin 3.0l Double Magnum - Château de Beaucastel come from selected sites in the Rhône Valley, in the immediate vicinity of Courthézon. The Mediterranean climate of this region provides abundant sunshine, warm days and cooler nights. This combination promotes perfect ripening of the berries while preserving their aromatic tension. The famous Mistral wind ensures dry, clear air and accompanies the vines throughout the year.

The soils around Château de Beaucastel feature the region’s characteristic large pebbles over clay-sandy layers. These so-called galets roulés store the sun’s warmth during the day and release it again at night. The vines benefit from this natural heat regulation and root deeply into the subsoil. This creates remarkable concentration in the harvested grapes, reflected in the glass by aromatic richness and intense structure.

• Mediterranean climate with strong sunlight
• Mistral wind as a defining factor of the region
• Galets roulés over clay and sandy soils
• Deep-rooted vines for maximum aromatic density

The grapes are harvested selectively and with great sensitivity in the vineyard. Ripe, fully developed grapes with aromatic concentration are brought into the cellar. Each grape variety enters the fermentation process separately in order to fully express its individual strengths. The cuvée is then assembled with the utmost precision so that each component ideally fulfils its role in the overall composition.

For maturation, Château de Beaucastel traditionally relies on a combination of wood and tanks. This allows the cuvée’s natural fruit to unfold, while the wood adds further structure, subtle roasted notes and a refined texture. Long ageing brings harmony, depth and an impressive balance between fruit, spice, tannin and acidity. The winemaking team’s signature can be seen in the fine calibration of every component, making this wine a homage to Jacques Perrin and to the terroir of the Rhône.
