✨ Technical Specifications
L'Oustalet, meaning 'the little house' in the traditional Provençal dialect, is a charming tribute to the simple, rustic art of Mediterranean living. Crafted by the legendary Famille Perrin, this organic white wine captures the sun-drenched spirit of the Southern Rhône and surrounding terroirs. The Perrin family, pioneers of organic viticulture since the 1950s, sources grapes from carefully managed organic vineyards to create a wine that is fresh, approachable, and deeply respectful of the environment. Fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant fruit character and crisp acidity, L'Oustalet Blanc is a delightful expression of southern French joie de vivre, offering delicate floral aromas, citrus notes, and a clean, refreshing finish.
🍾 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.
