CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE - LES SINARDS AOC CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE - RED

The vineyard
This wine comes from the younger vines at Beaucastel, together with a leased vineyard of 7 hectares that lies to the West
of Beaucastel, on the commune of Orange and some vineyards leased in the center of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Geology
Diluvial alpine deposits with rolled pebbles over a former molasse sea-bed of the miocene epoch (tertiary period).
Grape varieties
70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre.
Winemaking
Part of the harvest is vinified using the specific Beaucastel technique of heating the grapes. The rest is vinified traditionally, after de-stemming.
Maturing
In casks for a year (100%), then bottled after fining and light filtering.
Tasting notes
A deep red colour.
Wide range of aromas such as kirsch, lavender, pepper and other spices.
On the palate there is a well-rounded combination of fruit and supple tannins, and good length.
Serving
15°C (59°F) in large glasses, with dishes using game, truffles or mushrooms.


I am using this wine for my wine class tonight on France as representative of a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. I will let you know how it goes.

I had the 2005 in Paris last weekend and loved it.
Perrin & Fils Chateauneuf du Pape 2005 - BUY - €40
Great deep purple colour with pink hues. The nose was kirsch like, lots of raspberries, very sweet but not sugary, noticeable cherry notes too. Mid bodied and rich on the palate but so smooth, one of the easiest drinking wines I've tasted this year. Really simple, very fruity, looks like a wine to drink young, fun and easygoing with a great nose and lovely flavour. Like wine flavoured juice! 90 Points
