It benefits from a flow of cold air which blows through the valley situated to the west of the village. The terroir consists of limestone, calcareous marl, clay and sand. The vines are planted on terraces, facing northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout this Wine:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe other Châteauneuf from Famille Perrin! Les Sinards is made from young vines (under 20 years old) at Beaucastel and two neighbouring vineyards, south-west facing Syrah from the Clos de Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and from Le Grès, 4km from Beaucastel. Mainly Grenache, it is a very elegant wine that can be enjoyed immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the month of August onwards we carry out maturity checks and taste the berries regularly to determine the optimum harvest date. Each grape variety is harvested separately. On arrival at the cellar the berries are sorted. Part of the Syrah is vinified in whole clusters and the remainder, plus the Grenache, is destemmed. Vinification is in wooden and stainless-steel vats using the same methods as for the Château de Beaucastel wines. The wines are then tasted to determine the blend, and finally aged in foudres for 2 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautiful deep and intense garnet red colour 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, liquorice, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eRatings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90-92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Blackberries, spicy garrigue, herbes de Provence, and some peppery nuances all emerge from the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Sinards, a medium-bodied, supple, elegant red with tons of character.\" (Oct 2024)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Artisan Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":53319294681453,"sku":null,"price":47.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0481\/8940\/7391\/files\/PerrinSinards.png?v=1778607092","url":"https:\/\/artisan.wine\/products\/famille-perrin-chateauneuf-du-pape-les-sinards-2022-southern-rhone-france","provider":"Artisan W\u0026S","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
