Famille Perrin : Les Sinards 2023

Crafted from young vines at Château de Beaucastel, complemented by two plots located in the center of the village, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards is slightly peppery, revealing aromas of dark berries and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, gourmand and juicy, it’s fresh and lively despite its structured tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. Composed mainly of Grenache Noir, this is a perfect introduction to the Perrin family’s universe.

It's really hard to resist this wine's abundant cassis, red currant and strawberry fruit. There’s an interplay of restrained ripeness and gentle tannins. This is quite full-bodied, but the silky tannins and long, lively finish make it taste lighter than it really is. A cuvee based on grenache with a mix of other traditional varieties. Drink or hold.
