L'Oustalet, which translates to 'the little house' or 'small cottage' in the traditional Occitan dialect of southern France, is a charming tribute to the rustic, simple pleasures of Provençal life. Crafted by the Perrin family, this organic red wine is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the southern Rhône region. It reflects the family's pioneering spirit in organic viticulture, delivering an authentic, eco-friendly expression of the Mediterranean terroir. Vinified primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its vibrant fruit profile and fresh acidity, L'Oustalet Rouge is celebrated for its approachable character, showcasing notes of ripe red berries, wild herbs (garrigue), and a touch of soft spice.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in the southern Rhône Valley and closely tied to the legendary Château de Beaucastel since 1909, Famille Perrin is one of France's most respected winemaking dynasties. Under the visionary guidance of Jacques Perrin and subsequent generations, the family pioneered organic viticulture in 1950 and biodynamic farming in 1974. Based in Courthézon, they are celebrated for their masterful blending of all thirteen permitted Châteauneuf-du-Pape grape varieties, aging their wines in traditional large oak foudres to preserve purity and terroir. Their world-class portfolio ranges from the iconic, Mourvèdre-dominant Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin to expressive regional selections like Les Sinards and La Gille.
