Famille Perrin Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc - Les Sinards - 2016

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

The alcoholic fermentation and the malolactic fermentation were carried out in 600-litre demi-muids, with the lees being stirred once a week for three months.

The vintage

The 2016 vintage in the Southern Rhone valley is exceptional, both in terms of quality and quantity, thanks to idyllic weather conditions that protected the region from climatic accidents throughout the whole year.

Serving

At 10°C in tasting glasses.

Tasting

This 2016 shows a lot of freshness and elegance. Expressive and complex, this wine has a nose on notes of white-flesh fruit (pears) and sweet spices. The mouth shows a beautiful mineral tension along with a salty and structured finish with a lot of persistence.
