Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin  |

WA 96 (2/2014): Still youthful, and even slightly backwards, the tiny production 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin (60% Mourvedre and the balance other permitted varieties) took the better part of the evening to unwind. Offering deep, layered aromas of black currants, blueberries, leather, truffle and steak tartare, it flows onto the palate with a concentrated, yet seamless and gorgeously focused profile that carries ample tannin, good acidity and blockbuster length. One of the gems of the vintage, it needs another 3-4 years of bottle age and will evolve gracefully for a decade or more past that.
VM 96-98 (2/2007): Saturated ruby. Remarkably deep nose combines cherry, raspberry, licorice, smoked meat and mineral notes, all lifted by an intense floral quality. A stunning example of freshness and precision married to power, with deep cassis, bitter cherry and candied licorice flavors enlivened by zesty minerality and framed by firm but harmonious tannins. "This is not about extraction," notes Perrin. The endless finish echoes the mineral and floral tones, showing a persistent lavender note. This was not yet bottled when I tasted it. |

VM 88 (1/2007): Medium red. Fresh red berry scents, with a hint of orange peel. Crisp, lively and pure, with bright raspberry and strawberry flavors carrying through a long, tangy finish. Josh Raynolds.
WA 87 (2/2007): This domaine also produces superb Cotes du Rhones under the consultation of famed oenologist Philippe Cambie. These are all Provencal-styled wines with the Bouquet des Garrigues the lightest of them, with plenty of earth, pepper, Provencal herbs and sweet kirsch. The 2005 just slightly richer and fuller than the 2004. This wine is usually dominated by its Grenache component which consists of about 90-95%. From the Quartz soils that also produce the cuvee of Chateauneuf du Pape, Domaine du Caillou makes a Cotes du Rhone-Villages which is a blend of Grenache and Syrah. This is a more modern-styled wine with deeper ruby/purple color, fuller body, more crushed rock and mineral notes (as one might suspect from the name), and more tannin in an elegant style. |
