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 2011 vintage is a vintage of contrasts. That is to say an unusually hot, dry spring followed by a wet and rainy beginning of July and then an Indian summer lasting until the end of October. Carefully sorting and destemming the harvest allowed for a great vintage, particularly for the late harvest varieties.

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
