The other Châteauneuf of the family! For the most part Les Sinards is made from the young vines at Beaucastel and a neighbouring vineyard we farm. Mostly Grenache, this is a classic Châteauneuf du Pape.

"Lush and inviting, with smoldering black tea weaving through the fleshy layers of melted fig, hoisin sauce, plum preserves and blackberry pudding. The dark ganache-coated finish has serious grip. Best from 2014 through 2025." • Note: 93/100
The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Sinards, which as usual includes some young vines from Beaucastel, has a racy blood orange, bitter cherry and high-toned spice profile. It's long and fine-grained, with pure cut and a lingering blackberry note.
Fresh red berries and cherry on the intensely fragrant nose. Sappy, palate-coating black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors are complemented by suave lavender and anise notes and lifted by a peppery quality. Finishes seamless and sweet, with very good breadth and spicy persistence. • Note: 90-92/100
Lightly liquorice. Very smooth and polished texture. Not much grunt but certainly well mannered and competently made. Light finish. • Note: 16/20
The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Sinards red is a blend of young Beaucastel vines and fruit from adjacent properties. It possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as black cherry, licorice, garrigue, tobacco leaf and spice box characteristics. It is deep and medium to full-bodied with good acidity and freshness. • Note: 88-91/100
Vivid ruby. Fresh raspberry and cherry on the intensely perfumed nose. Sappy and sweet, with deep red fruit preserve flavors and hints of succulent herbs and rose pastille. Packs a punch but also shows impressive energy and balance. The raspberry note carries through on the finish, which also features a suave, slow-building note of star anise. • Note: 92-94/100
Bright ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of raspberry, cherry and dried flowers. Juicy and open-knit, offering lush red and dark berry compote flavors that pick up spiciness with air. Closes with very good energy and lift, with supple tannins lending shape and grip. • Note: 91/100
Their 2010 includes purchased grapes as well as declassified portions from the rather large Beaucastel vineyard. This is mostly a Grenache and much more Mourvèdre and Counoise, Syrah and other authorized varietals. The wine is deep, lush, and meant to be drunk in its first 7-8 years of life. It is quite headband very Provencal in its style. • Note: 88-90/100 |
