Wine Description

The 2021 'Hommage à Jacques Perrin' is a masterful blend of approximately 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, and 20% Syrah. In the glass, it presents a deep, inky hue. The nose is complex, revealing aromas of truffle, tree bark, blackberry, and black cherry, complemented by hints of liquorice and peppery spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with multilayered fruit flavors, fine-grained tannins, and a refreshing lift on the long finish. This wine embodies balance, freshness, and remarkable complexity.
