The 2022 Famille Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Les Sinards” is a polished and approachable expression of this iconic Southern Rhône appellation, crafted primarily from Grenache sourced from young Beaucastel vines and nearby vineyards. It reflects the Perrin family’s signature balance of elegance, fruit purity and terroir expression. The nose is warm and expressive, offering red cherry, plum and blackberry layered with notes of leather, spice and subtle garrigue.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and fine tannins. Juicy red and dark fruit flavours are supported by fresh acidity and a gentle mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant and harmonious finish. The style is classic yet approachable, delivering the essence of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with more immediate drinkability.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best entry points into Châteauneuf-du-Pape—offering the pedigree of Beaucastel in a more accessible, ready-to-drink style. Ideal for customers who want Rhône richness without excessive heaviness. Drink now or over the next 6–10 years. Perfect with roast lamb, grilled meats, stews or Mediterranean dishes.
