"Potentially the wine of the vintage".
A wine of extraordinary density, richness, precision and unreal flavor intensity, it reveals abundant gamey, meaty notes intermixed with smoked duck, Provencal herbs, blueberries, blackberries, kirsch and licorice. This loaded, multidimensional, massively concentrated 2009 is much softer than most Hommages.
It should be drinkable in 3-4 years and keep for 30-40 years thereafter. Kudos to one of the world’s great winemaking families.
Created in 1989 and is a tribute to the late Jacques Perrin, it’s only produced in top vintages and there’s normally a scant 400-500 cases to go around.
