Famille Perrin Châteauneuf du Pape "Les Sinards" Blanc
Presentation
This extremely rare wine comes from a 2.5 acre vineyard located within the "clos" around the historical pope’s palace. All of the viticulture is carried out by the Beaucastel team.
Ageing
Hand-picked and sorted grapes are laid in small boxes. Crushing is pneumatic, then the must is settled to separate the solid particles.
Fermentation then takes place, 50% in new oak barrels and the rest
in 1-year-old barrels.
The vintage
The vintage started with a long winter and one of the driest ones in the past years followed by an inexistent Spring. The crop development was very slow due to important climatic variations. The winemakers’ work was therefore crucial to get good quality grapes in small quantities. 2013 was a complicated vintage and late but is wonderfully balanced and is very promising.

Serving
At 10°C in tasting glasses.
Tasting
A pale golden-yellow hue.
The nose is reminiscent of flowers with a touch of licorice and honey.
The texture is very soft, elegant and ripe, with flavors of ripe peach and licorice. It has good acidity and a salty character at the end.
This is a very typical Châteauneuf du Pape white in a great vintage
