Famille Perrin's Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 'Les Sinards' is a beautifully crafted white wine sourced primarily from the younger vines of the legendary Château de Beaucastel, along with select neighboring parcels. Grown on the classic terroir of the southern Rhône—characterized by limestone, clay, and the iconic heat-retaining galets roulés (large rounded stones)—this cuvée offers an accessible yet sophisticated expression of the appellation. The wine is vinified with a focus on preserving freshness and elegance, utilizing temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel and old oak foudres. It captures the essence of the region's historic white winemaking tradition, delivering a rich texture balanced by vibrant minerality.
🍾 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.
