Domaine Famille Perrin

The Perrin family have operated over several generations, starting in the twentieth century with the Château de Beaucastel, jewel of Chateauneuf Pape - it was in 1909 that Pierre Tramier acquired the estate. Thereafter, his son in law, Pierre Perrin, followed by his son Jacques Perrin, developed Beaucastel and its vineyards. Today the 5th generation continues the family tradition , their principles include: absolute respect for the terroir and the soils, biodynamics as a philosophy of life, pursuit for precision, balance and elegance. “Terroir” is not an empty word for the Perrin Family, it’s a philosophy.

Les Sinards is made from young vines (under 20 years old) at Beaucastel and two neighbouring vineyards. South-west facing Syrah from the Clos de Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and from Le Grès, 4km from Beaucastel. The young Beaucastel vines produce more abundant and slightly less concentrated grapes, enabling us to make a wine that is immediately accessible. The grapes from Clos de Châteauneuf-du-Pape offer spicy, complex, dense notes, whilst Le Grès is planted with Grenache on round pebbles that absorb the heat of the day and release it during the night, giving warmth and finesse to the wine. Les Sinard is composed mainly of Grenache, unlike Beaucastel. Each grape variety is harvested separately. On arrival at the cellar the berries are sorted. Part of the Syrah is vinified in whole clusters and the remainder, plus the Grenache, is destemmed. Vinification is in wooden and stainless-steel vats using the same methods as for the Château de Beaucastel wines. The wines are then tasted to determine the blend, and finally aged in Foudres for 2 years.
