Hommage à Jacques Perrin is a Rhone icon - the flagship wine of Chateau de Beaucastel in Chateauneuf du Pape. It is made only in the best vintages, the first in 1989, as a tribute to Jacques, a visionary winemaker who refused to use chemicals in his vine treatment

Fragrant honeysuckle, lemon peel, white peach and ripe pear aromas highlight the delicious 2022 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. Vibrant and focused, it checks in at 14% alcohol and delivers a mouthful of gorgeous white Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Finishing with discrete saltiness, the 2022 gracefully walks off the stage. I loved it!
