MAS Museum aan de Stroom, Antwerp – masterclass venue & home of t Zilte restaurantĭitto a Douro Valley focused version of Pascaline Lepeltier‘s highly accomplished blending masterclass on Cote du Rhône blends, which emphasised the region’s very diverse terroir, exploring which grapes (and styles) flourish where. And with Matthieu Perrin, 5 th generation Famille Perrin member. So you can imagine my joy at the once in a lifetime opportunity to taste these vintages: 1989 (gorgeous, aromatic, very supple, still with fruit) 1995 (edgier, but lovely complexity and freshness as it opened up), 1999, 2000 (like the ’89, uber-charming, gorgeous fruit), 2005 (still very brooding, impressive), 2007, 20 (marvellous freshness, great potential). I am a huge Beaucastel fan, but have only tasted flagship Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape once – the 2000, which I sold when I worked at Oddbins Fine Wine. Matthieu Perrin, 5th generation Famille Perrin member, presents a rare, very fine, Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape verticalĪside from the final and talking and tasting wine with such an elite corps, my personal highlights included exceptional masterclasses on areas which, being an Australian and Portuguese specialist, I felt particularly privileged to attend.
