Famille Perrin Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Les Sinards - 2019

Presentation

This very rare wine comes from plots managed by the Château de Beaucastel team.

Ageing

As of August, we carry out maturity checks and berry tastings to determine the optimal date for harvest. On arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed using a pneumatic press. The must is refrigerated and the settling is done by cold maceration, without any additions. The alcoholic fermentation starts in the tank and as of the first day, the must is put into demi-muids barrels. Regular bâtonnage is carried out in order to bring roundness and structure to the wine. After several months in barrels, the wines are slightly fined before bottling.

The vintage

The years in 9 regularly mark the memory of winegrowers and this vintage was no exception. After an early bud burst in early April, flowering was gradual and took place in good conditions in all the vineyards. Then a hot summer began in late June, which the vines bravely resisted: they suffered little from water stress, thanks to the chamomile herbal infusions we sprayed on the vegetation to cope with the heat. Finally, the harvest went as usual, without any particular precocity. The wines are promising; a vintage in 9 is born, once again, under a lucky star.

Serving

At 10°C in tasting glasses.
Perfect with white meat and dishes with cream sauces.

Tasting

Elegant golden-yellow colour with shiny and slightly green undertones. This wine reveals a subtle nose of delicate aromas of limes, apricots and almonds. While balanced, the mouth offers beautiful notes of white flesh fruit, honey and fennel and ends with a superb saline finish which gives it a lot of character.
