Hommage a Jacques Perrin 2020 DBMG

Flowers. wet earth. blue fruit. licorice and dark red fruits are all over the place on the nose and palate. The wine is intense. powerful and concentrated. yet light on its feet. There is grace. elegance. and balance. with a chewy. meaty. peppery. chalky edge in the finish that holds your attention for at least 60 seconds. The wine blends 75% Mourvedre and equal amounts of Grenache and Syrah. The blend of the 2020 represents the highest percentage of Mouvedre ever used in Hommage. going all the way back to 1989. Picking on the Mouvedre began October 15. which is also the latest picking date for the Mourvedre. Like all the great vintage of Hommage. this is a wine for patient collectors as you need to give it at least 10 years of aging. and 20 would be even better! Drink from 2030-2060." - 99/100.

Wine Advocate

Tasted from foudre. the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin is approximately 60% Mourvèdre (from the same parcel. year after year). with the balance a blend of Grenache. Syrah and Counoise. Ripe plums and truffle-like notes mark the nose. while the palate is full-bodied and rich. with a long. velvety finish. Showing even more complexity and length than the regular bottling. there's a chance this could reach a triple-digit score down the road. (JC. 05/2022)
