2021 | Famille Perrin | Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards

Beautiful garnet-red colour with shiny reflections. The nose reveals a complex and warm aromatic bouquet with notes of leather. The palate is elegant with delicious aromas of dried fruit, dates, dried figs and candied grapes with a long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: A seductive, overt style, with ripe cherry and sappy red licorice at the forefront, backed by smoked apple wood and iron shavings. Supple on the palate, with cashmere tannins providing nice structure through the smoky, silky finish.

• James Suckling: Scented nose with dark cherries, blueberries, dried thyme, plums, bark, roasted meat and baking spices following through to a medium to full body with finely grained tannins. Elegant and textural with a velvety core of juicy and crunchy berries on the mid-plate mingling with herbs and spices in harmony. Well-composed with a precise long finish.

Producer Information

Famille Perrin is a leading wine producer and négociant in the southern Rhône Valley. The business was established in 1997, and today makes wines from some of the region's most famous appellations, including Vacqueyras, Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Perrin family has been making wine in the region since the early 1900s, when scientist Pierre Perrin inherited the Château de Beaucastel estate. Perrin's grandchildren, François and Jean-Pierre, founded the Famille Perrin business together before passing on the reins two years later to the fifth-generation Perrin, Pierre, in 1999. In addition to its renowned Château de Beaucastel estate, Famille Perrin's portfolio includes Miraval, Domaine du Clos des Tourelles and La Vielle Ferme. Domaine du Clos des Tourelles is situated in Gigondas and comprises 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards planted to 80 percent Grenache, with smaller plantings of Syrah, Cinsaut and Mourvèdre. The La Vielle Ferme brand was established in the 1970s, and comprises a range of red, rosé and white wines from vineyards in Ventoux and Luberon. Famille Perrin uses organic and biodynamic approaches in its vineyards. The company's red and rosé wines include the likes of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhone Villages and Tavel – all based predominantly on the Grenache variety. The white wine portfolio includes a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc made from Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc, as well as a Côtes du Rhône Blanc based on a blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne.
