✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Famille Perrin is one of the Southern Rhône Valley's most esteemed winemaking dynasties, famously anchored by the historic Château de Beaucastel estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Guided by generations of the Perrin family, the domaine became a pioneering champion of organic farming in 1950 and biodynamic viticulture in 1974 under the visionary stewardship of Jacques Perrin. Their winemaking philosophy centers on authentic terroir expression, biodiversity, and the preservation of artisanal blending traditions, famously utilizing all thirteen permitted Châteauneuf-du-Pape grape varieties with an emphasis on Mourvèdre. Today, Famille Perrin crafts a prestigious and multifaceted portfolio ranging from the legendary, age-worthy Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin to quintessential expressions of Gigondas, Cairanne, and classic Côtes du Rhône.
