Mas Bécha - Côtes du Roussillon Hipgnosis 419 blanc 2022
94/100
Jeb Dunnuck
“Roussillon with a Burgundian flair”
“A more citrusy and mineral-driven style, with notes of minty herbs and white flowers. This is another beautifully balanced, layered, and medium-bodied white wine from Perez that has a lot to offer. It will age well for at least 7 or 8 years, but I also enjoy it right now.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

About the estate:
This winery, which is as innovative in its marketing approach as it is in its wine styles, produces wines with playful labels that often leave a lasting impression. The Perez family travels, reflects, and is beginning to find a path toward greater recognition for its products. The estate is a great source of powerful, vibrant reds, which are sure to spark conversation with their often unique profiles and consistently deep ripeness.

About the estate:
South of Perpignan, Charles Perez has been running his estate since 2008 in the hamlet of Nyls, in the Aspres region: 25 hectares of organic vineyards spread across three hills within a 110-hectare estate. For his reds, his blends highlight Syrah. This leading figure in the wine region is “sketched” by a different artist each year to illustrate his labels. The same goes for his family members. The Catalan Mouton Rothschild, so to speak!

About the wine:
The 2022 HiPGNOSiS 419 Blanc from Côtes du Roussillon is predominantly made from White Grenache and includes 20% each of Vermentino and Macabeo, all aged in oak barrels. It is slightly paler than the 457 and offers a more lemony and mineral style, with notes of minty herbs and white flowers. This is another beautifully balanced, layered, and medium-bodied white wine from Perez that has a lot to offer. It will age for at least 7 or 8 years, but I also enjoy it now.
