2023 Famille Perrin 'Les Sinards' Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Winemaker Notes:  Beautiful deep and intense garnet red color with shiny undertones. The nose reveals a complex and generous aromatic bouquet with notes of cherries and plums highlighted by spicy notes typical of the appellation such as black pepper, licorice, and a hint of dark chocolate. Full bodied and silky, the palate is elegant with perfectly integrated powerful tannins and delicious aromas of dried and candied fruit followed by a long finish enhanced with a slight minerality which brings freshness. Pairs well with spiced duck breast, mature cheese, truffles and mushrooms.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "It's really hard to resist this wine's abundant cassis, red currant and strawberry fruit. There’s an interplay of restrained ripeness and gentle tannins. This is quite full-bodied, but the silky tannins and long, lively finish make it taste lighter than it really is. A cuvee based on grenache with a mix of other traditional varieties."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Crafted from young vines at Château de Beaucastel, complemented by two plots located in the center of the village, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards is slightly peppery, revealing aromas of dark berries and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, gourmand and juicy, it’s fresh and lively despite its structured tannins, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. Composed mainly of Grenache Noir, this is a perfect introduction to the Perrin family’s universe."


Jeb Dunnuck - "Coming 70% from estate vines, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Sinards is medium ruby-hued and offers red and black fruit, peppery garigue, and sweet violet-like aromas and flavors. It's nicely textured, medium to full-bodied, and is going to shine right out of the gate. (90-92pts)"
