2018 Famille Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Les Sinards”

After the historically dry and hot summer, the wines give an impression of opulence, concentration and generosity. Ageing will allow the wines to soften and slowly find their balance.

Nose of black fruit aromas, powerful, little reduction, fresh and elegant notes of berries, notes of hot Galets (pebbles) in the sun. A beautiful expression of the granitic terroir in this 2017 vintage. On the palate, nice balance of mineral freshness, complex progression with fine and tight tannins, beautifully long and steady finish. Sweet, fine and discreet aromas that bring a touch of style and elegance to this magnificent Saint Joseph.

Tasting temperature 16 to 18°C.

ELABORATION DETAILS: This magnificent Armagnac comes from the distillation of wines made with different varietals of white grapes from the region of Gascony, among which are Ugni Blanche, Baco and Folle Blanche.

The fruits are fermented and then distilled in traditional copper stills. Finally, the liqueur is left to mature for a year in French oak barrels. The entire production process takes place in the commune of Condom-en-Armagnac, located in the southwest of France, which has had the Bas-Armagnac designation of origin since 1936 to make this content-type of liqueur. Another peculiarity of this distillate is its incredible presentation of the traditional bottle with a sloping neck.
