"16/20 Jancis Robinson MW
Wild notes on the nose – spice and leather. The palate is rich and powerful. Firm, grainy tannins and a pretty introverted palate at the moment. Layered finish that needs some time to come together."
The Perrin fmaily refer to this as the 'other Châteauneuf of the family!' For the most part Les Sinards is made from the young vines at Beaucastel blended with a neighboring vineyard to the west of Beaucastel. Mostly Grenache, with a touch of Mourvèdre and Syrah. Partly vinified like Beaucastel and partly vinified in the traditional way after destemming. 100% Foudres for a year. Bottled after fining and light filtration. This is a classic Châteauneuf du Pape.
