2017 Famille Perrin Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Les Sinards

Rhone Red Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France

The other Châteauneuf of the family! For the most part Les Sinards is made from the young vines at Beaucastel and a neighboring vineyard we farm. Mostly Grenache, this is a classic Châteauneuf du Pape.

Intense red color with violet undertones. On the nose, it offers an intense bouquet of red and black fruit, sweet spices, noble wood and some mineral notes. The palate is balanced between freshness and softness with fine and elegant tannins and a very long finish.

Decanter: 2017 was a ripe and robust vintage in Châteauneuf du Pape – the driest vintage in 30 years – and the Perrin family, owners of Château de Beaucastel, are skilled at getting the best from the year. Les Sinards is made from the young vines at Beaucastel and vines from a neighbouring vineyard. Intense aromas of spicy red and black fruits, fresh and forward, with length and volume. Expressive now, but you could safely put it aside for a few years too.

Wine Enthusiast: Profoundly ripe but pristine blackberry and plum are cutting and crisp in this full bodied but vibrant red. Deep mineral tones as well as firm, angular tannins contribute to its edgy style. It drinks well now but is structured enough to improve through 2027 and hold further.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: Slated to be bottled a week or so after my visit, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape les Sinards is pretty and floral, with those rose and violet nuances backed by red raspberries. Full-bodied yet silky and almost delicate in feel, it adds a charming dusting of cinnamon on the finish. Rating: 90-93

Wine Spectator: Stylish, with warm plum sauce and blackberry puree flavors gliding through, inlaid with dark tea, singed sandalwood and anise notes. Offers a nice finishing kick of fruit and spice. Accessible now, thanks to the alluring fruit. Drink now through 2030.

Jeb Dunnuck: Moving to the Châteauneuf Du Pape releases, the entry-level 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Sinards offers a medium to full-bodied, elegant, fruit-forward style that carries plenty of garrigue, dried earth, and charcuterie notes. It’s a total charmer to enjoy over the coming 6-8 years. Rating: 89-91
