History: Famille Perrin’s involvement in the wine trade dates back to 1909, when Pierre Traminer purchased the Château de Beaucastel and later transferred it to his son-in-law Pierre Perrin, a scientist who developed Beaucastel. His son, Jacques, continued his father’s efforts and continued to expand the family’s holdings until 1978. Today, Jacque’s sons, Jean-Pierre and François, run the business with the fifth generation of the family: Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cécile, Charles, Matthieu and César. Les Sinards is generally made from the young vines from Beaucastel as well as farmed vines located near Beaucastel.

Tasting Notes:

A complex nose with rich notes of red and black fruit, the mouth is rich with a powerful and generous attack and the tannic texture is already balanced and elegant, with a long, racy finish.
