White wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape are uncommon wines. Their elegance and aromas live up to the reputation of the appellation.

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.

Famille Perrin Les Sinards Tasting Notes

Pretty golden colour with shiny reflections. It is a wine full of refinement and roundness: its nose reveals elegant aromas of almonds, limes and white flesh fruit and its palate has a nice sweetness on notes of citrus and peach. An iodised note with a slight bitterness offers a hint of liveliness which gives structure to this wine.

THE VINTAGE

The 2014 vintage is surprising for the region. It is characterised by a mild, damp winter, a hot and dry spring and a temperate and humid summer. An unusual year, a winemaker year. Bud break was very early, flowering took place in ideal conditions and fruit set was excellent, especially on Grenache. However, work in the vineyard and rigorous monitoring of the vineyard until harvest were necessary with wet months of July and August, favouring the vegetative growth. The harvest of white grapes took place under bright sunshine, with very nice analytical balances.

LOCATION

Sinards White comes from an area that we call the Clos du Château, near the village of Châteauneuf du Pape. The 2.5 hectare vineyard is located right next to the one of Les Sinards Red.

TERROIR

Diluvial alpine deposits with rolled pebbles on clay.

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.

Famille Perrin Les Sinards Winemaker Notes

Elegant golden-color with shiny green reflections. On the nose, this wine reveals a seductive bouquet with hints of flint, fennel and aniseed with a light and perfectly integrated oaky flavor. Well balanced, the palate increases this aromatic palette full of finesse, without exuberance. An elegant wine, to be tasted from its youth.

Perfect with white meat and dishes with cream sauces.
