Famille Perrin's involvement in the wine trade can be traced back to 1909, when Pierre Traminer bought the Chateau de Beaucastel and then transferred it to his son-in-law Pierre Perrin, a scientist who further developed Beaucastel. His son, Jacques, continued his father's efforts and continued to expand the family's holdings until 1978. Today the torch is being carried by Jean-Pierre and Francois, Jacques' sons: Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cecile, Charles, Matthieu, and Cesar, the fifth generation, work today with them.
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape is the usual blend of roughly 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties that was brought up in foudre. It offers a vivid ruby/purple hue as well as stunning aromatics of blueberries, violets, peppered beef, leather, and spring flowers. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and elegant, it has just a kiss of classic Beaucastel wild, sauvage nuances, ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish. Give bottles 4-5 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following two decades.
