Perrin Chateauneuf du Pape Les Sinards
PRESENTATION
The family’s other Châteauneuf! Les Sinards comes from the young vines at Beaucastel and from a neighbouring vineyard that we farm.
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.
LOCATION
Wine made from the young vines at Beaucastel, a vineyard that we farm just to the west of Beaucastel in the Commune of Orange
TERROIR
Molasse seabed of the Miocene period covered by diluvial alpine deposits (pebbles)
