The Famille Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards 2023 is an expressive yet balanced Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the southern Rhône Valley, embodying the Famille Perrin’s signature style in a particularly accessible form. The cuvée is predominantly based on Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre, and reflects the appellation’s characteristic power, spice and depth. With an alcohol content of 14.5 per cent, the 2023 vintage is concentrated, warm and yet harmoniously structured. The grapes come from the estate’s younger plots, which means the wine is ready to drink earlier without losing any of its complexity.

The wine is carefully matured, partly in large oak casks and partly in stainless steel tanks, to bring out the fruit, spice and balance to the full. Les Sinards 2023 is already a delight to drink in its youth, yet possesses sufficient substance for further development. It embodies a classic yet uncluttered style that clearly reflects its Châteauneuf-du-Pape origins whilst remaining versatile.
