Vacqueyras Les Christins 2022, 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. Respecting the terroir means both treasuring the soil, the environment, but also the history of the place. Looking for authenticity and uniqueness to pass it on and bring it to life through their wines. Each plot thus reveals the hidden treasures of its unique location. In 1950, they innovated by organically cultivating their vineyards, then in 1974, they converted Château de Beaucastel to biodynamic practices. Today, farming as close as possible to the soil’s resources, fauna and flora, is paying off. The grapes are thriving and give a unique taste, revealing the quintessence of their aromas and the splendour of their origin. Every day, on each of the plots owned by the Perrin Family, the work consists of stimulating the physiology of the plant and its natural resistance. This unique ecosystem, which the family has always preserved with passion, gives the wines an unparalleled combination of power, structure, elegance and freshness.
