Lage

Das Terroir ist archetypisch der besten Terroirs in Châteauneuf: Kieselsteine auf der Oberfläche, Sand, Lehm und Kalk tiefer im Boden. Die Reben sind alt und wurden organisch seit 50 Jahren angebaut, dies ermöglicht es den Wurzeln außergewöhnlich tief zu wachsen.

Jede Sorte wird einzeln und von Hand geerntet. Die Weinbereitung erfolgt in Eichenfässern für die reduktiven Sorten (Mourvèdre, Syrah) und in der traditionellen Betonbehälter für die oxydative Trauben (alle anderen). Sobald die Milchsäuregärung abgeschlossen ist, mischen die Familie Perrin die verschiedenen Sorten. Die Mischung reift dann in Eichenfässern für ein Jahr vor der Abfüllung.

A striking colour for a 19 year old wine.
The nose is profound, sweet and on black truffle, under-wood, earthy notes.
The mouth is full of fruit, fleshy and round. This wine gives an impression of caress with soft soft tannins.
This wine can be drunk but will improve with time. Decant before serving.

Bewertungen
"Surprisingly pale in colour with earthy, leather notes and cherries pushing through on the mid-palate. Silky, ripe tannins."
"It's a generous, concentrated, intensely fruity Châteauneuf that blends mouthfilling flavors with complex cedar, spice and leather accents. Sturdy tannins and solid acidity mark this as a good candidate to cellar. Best after 1996."
"Two great back to back vintages are the 1990 and 1989. The more developed 1990 boasts an incredible perfume of hickory wood, coffee, smoked meat, Asian spices, black cherries, and blackberries. Lush, opulent, and full-bodied, it is a fully mature, profound Beaucastel that will last another 15-20 years. "
"After the 1998, a sudden jump to all the signs of maturity: herbs and leather and undergrowth but still fragrant on the mid palate. Silky and sweet in the mouth with a touch of black truffle and tobacco leaf. Tannins are resolved but still a little foursquare."
"Mitteltiefe Farbe, zarter Orangerand, wieder mit einer deutlich fleischigen Note, diesmal Richtung Wildhase, dichte Struktur, wirkt fast noch etwas verschlossen, seidige Tannine, belebende Säure im Nachhall. Bester Trinkzeitraum bis 2023. "
"The nose is on notes of damp forest, mushrooms and humus.
The fruit, the tension, the freshness and the spices give this wine unbelievable balance and complexity. This wine can be enjoyed now or can be kept a few more years.
Stand the bottle upright 48 hours before serving to avoid any deposit."

"Layers of complexity, drinking superbly now." [+]
"Medium ruby in color, this wine smells of bacon fat, cedar, and exotic incense with a hint of dried flowers. In the mouth the wine has fine grained tannins that have a supple tension to them. Still coiled tight, the cedar, cherry and sandalwood flavors are more linear than the '89 but no less compelling. Gorgeous acidity and balance. Great length and poise. This wine has a long way to go yet. The finish is deeply mineral and resonant. Stunning."
"Imported by Vineyard Brands. 13.5 % Alcohol. There was a beautiful nose followed by mature but lively fruit in the mouth. This juicy wine was juicy with depth, wood box notes, and youthful grip. ****(*) Now -2025." [+]
"The depth and volume of fruit being quite extraordinary, the wine of the evening: for me, a perfect 100-pointer."
"Fine structure, marked by notes of liquorice and spices. Aromatic and never-ending finale, this wine is now flourishing. Magnificent, it will be great with a gastronomic meal."
"This offers a super rich, earth, leather, spice and sweet-tobacco nose with a very similar texture to the 2017. It has a rich, dark, nutty core with very intense, long black fruit and seamless tannins with flavors of leather, tobacco and deep and ripe plums and blueberries. Drink now."
