✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted exclusively for the legendary British steakhouse group Hawksmoor, this bespoke cuvée is a testament to the collaboration and shared passion for gastronomy between the Perrin family and the Hawksmoor founders. Sourced from the sun-drenched terraces of the Southern Rhône Valley, Famille Perrin applies the same meticulous standards to this custom blend as they do to their historic estate wines. The wine is designed to capture the vibrant, fruit-forward essence of the region, balancing juicy dark berry flavors with a savory, peppery undertone and structured tannins. It represents a perfect bridge between classic French winemaking heritage and contemporary dining, specifically tailored to elevate the experience of wood-fired and char-grilled meats.
🍾 About the Producer
Famille Perrin is one of the Southern Rhône Valley’s most revered viticultural dynasties, tracing its modern winemaking lineage to 1909 when Pierre Tramier acquired the iconic Château de Beaucastel in Courthézon. Under the transformative leadership of Jacques Perrin, the estate became an early pioneer of organic viticulture in 1950 and fully embraced biodynamic farming in 1974. Now stewarded by the fourth and fifth generations, the Perrin family commands exceptional crus across Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, and Vinsobres. Rooted in the classic galets roulés, molasse, and limestone clays buffeted by the drying Mistral winds, their philosophy emphasizes poly-varietal balance, biodiversity, and minimal intervention. Winemaking favors gentle extraction, indigenous yeast fermentations, and traditional maturation in large neutral oak foudres. Benchmark expressions include the monumental Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape—distinguished by its high proportion of Mourvèdre and inclusion of all thirteen canonical varieties—and the rare, intensely aromatic Château de Beaucastel Roussanne Vieilles Vignes.
