Famille Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2017 is a refined Southern Rhône white wine that brings together richness, freshness and unmistakable regional character. Available at Oaks & Corks, this vintage comes from Famille Perrin, one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected wine families, whose winemaking heritage is closely tied to Château de Beaucastel and the wider Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. This particular white is made from Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, a classic blend that gives the wine both aromatic charm and structure.
The producer notes that the white grapes for Les Sinards Blanc come from their Clos de Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with vineyards planted on alpine diluvium deposits, pebbles and clay. In the cellar, the grapes are pressed on arrival, the must is chilled and cold-settled, and fermentation continues in demi-muid barrels with regular bâtonnage to build texture and roundness. After several months in barrel, the wine is lightly fined before bottling. This careful handling helps preserve freshness while also adding complexity and depth.
Tasting Notes
Expect an expressive nose with white-fleshed fruit and citrus aromas. On the palate, the wine is tense and mineral, with iodised freshness, apricot character and an elegant, delicately buttered finish. The overall style is ample yet poised, making it a distinctive Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc with both richness and lift.
Accolades

The producer page also highlights a 94/100 score from Wine Advocate, which praised the wine’s buttery richness, toasted almond and lees character, herbal complexity and ageing potential over the next decade. These critic notes reinforce the wine’s reputation as a serious white Rhône with both immediate appeal and cellar-worthy structure.
