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.

Medium sweet, medium acidic, honey melon notes, orange marmalade notes, hint of honey.

TASTE Mellow and sweet whites are medium-dry or even sweet. You can discern apricot, honeydew melon and floral notes in these wines. Residual sugar rounds up the flavour.

TIPS FOR USE These wines are all characterised by delicious, fruity sweetness, which means that they are excellent for socialising and a good match for Eastern dishes and vegetables. Try with Indian vegetable or chicken korma, shrimp and cheese quiche or black label Emmental.

HOW TO SERVE White wines are best served chilled, at 10–12°C. Chilling a bottle from room temperature to the perfect serving temperature takes about two hours in a fridge. The sweeter the wine, the cooler it can be served.
