100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another perfect wine from this family is the 2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin, an incredibly concentrated, powerful, backward wine that’s just now starting to shed its baby fat and tannins. Massive notes of black and blue fruits, black truffle, ground pepper, and a beautiful sense of minerality all flow to a full-bodied, deep, awesome wine that has a huge mid-palate, riveting purity of fruit, and a finish that won’t quit. Incredibly classic in style and reminding me of a hypothetical mix of the 1989 and 1990, it can be drunk with incredible pleasure over the coming 30 years or more. Drink: 2019-2049. (6/14/19)"
100 points Robert Parker: "There are approximately 500 cases of the luxury cuvee, the Chateau Beaucastel 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin. Composed of 60% Mourvedre, 20% Syrah and the rest Counoise and Grenache, the 2010 is slightly more restrained and backward than usual because of the vintage’s acid profile. Its opaque purple color is followed by crisp, rich, blueberry, blackberry, roasted meat, smoky, gamey, licorice and truffle notes. Extremely dense with fabulous fruit purity, a multidimensional mouthfeel and a massive finish, this wine will need a minimum of 10 years of cellaring and should keep for half a century. The Perrins did not harvest the Mourvedre used in their two 2010 cuvees until October 20! Drink: 2021-2071. (Oct 2011)"
98 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Sour cherry, but also amarena, cherry stone, complex with a tone-on-tone of ripeness, appears very precise and restrained in keeping with its age. Little development in the glass. A small hint of sweetish wood. Long, soft attack, then a string increase in tension, medium-high to high extract, tight acidity, very good juiciness on the finish, clearly mineral. Balanced, full of certain ageing potential, completely free of effects. The most mineral wine in the flight. (10/15/14)"
98 points La Revue du Vin de France: "As for Hommage à Jacques Perrin 2010, it offers fantastic texture and finesse, one of the finest achievements of this vintage. (2013)"
