Say Perrin and you think of the magical castle Château de Beaucastel and the imaginative Châteauneuf-du-Pape that is in great demand worldwide. Beaucastel has been around since the beginning of the 17th century, but it was not until 1909, when the Perrin family became the owner, that the 100-hectare domain underwent a real metamorphosis. More than a hundred years later, and now the fifth generation, the empire of Perrin has grown to 325 hectares of vineyard, the majority of which is in own possession. After the success in Châteauneuf, the family started to purchase other plots in the southern Rhône. Today they are active in the Côtes du Rhône Villages, Vinsobres, Cairanne, Rasteau, Gigondas, Vacqueyras, even Beaumes-de-Venise and Tavel and since a few months in Côtes de Provence with Château Miraval, the jont-venture between Perrin and Jolie -Pitt (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie). All of them are perfectly situated plots that are a maximum of 45 minutes from the home port of Orange and can therefore be inspected daily. The success that the family knows today is largely due to the late Jacques Perrin, who has since passed away, a real 'biodynamist' avant la lettre. His philosophy? You make good wine by letting the grape run its course in the best possible natural conditions. And so it happened, for as early as 1964 all chemical fertilizers and weed killers were banned from the vineyard. Nothing is left to chance in the basement either. The Perrins built an ultramodern wine cellar on the nearby La Vieille Ferme estate with all the technical gadgets. But the family will mainly go into the history books as the master of the blenders. It is undeniably the great secret of the Perrins, who are convinced that blending the right grapes in the right quantities ensures better wines. Something that is still done annually by the family. Over the course of five generations, the Perrin family has acquired various vineyards with the best terroirs in the southern Rhone Valley. These vineyards are managed and vinified according to the same principles and beliefs as Château de Beaucastel. Within the 'Famille Perrin' range you can discover the richness of the southern Rhone valley through various renowned appellations such as Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Vinsobres, Cairanne and Rasteau. Here too the authenticity and essence of the terroir are central to all wines.
