Regional Information
Regional InformationOur Vineyard in the Heart of the Southern Rhône
Our Les Christins Vacqueyras Blanc comes from a special 8-hectare vineyard located in the township of Sarrians, just south of the stunning Dentelles de Montmirail. Managed by our expert team at Château de Beaucastel, this vineyard benefits from the unique climate and terroir of the region, allowing us to produce wines that capture the essence of the Southern Rhône. The vineyard’s exceptional location is a cornerstone of the high-quality wines we proudly produce.
The Foundation of Our Exceptional Wines
Our vineyard is rooted in ancient alluvial Mindel (Garrigues) soils, resting on Helvetian sand and yellow sandstone. This unique terroir provides the perfect balance of minerality and freshness, giving our wines a distinctive character. The combination of these rich soils and our careful vineyard management allows us to craft wines that truly reflect the essence of Vacqueyras.
A Perfect Balance of Tradition and Innovation
At Famille Perrin, we blend traditional techniques with modern innovation to create wines that showcase the true expression of our terroir. The freshly harvested grapes undergo cold skin maceration at 10°C, which allows us to extract the fruity richness and smooth texture we strive for. Our blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Bourboulenc undergoes fermentation in thermo-regulated tanks, ensuring optimal temperature control. After fermentation, we age the wine for 8 months on lees - 60% in stainless steel tanks and 40% in half-muids barrels. This method enhances the wine's complexity while preserving its freshness and vibrancy. In the 2022 vintage, we paid special attention to the ageing process, ensuring that each bottle reflects the elegance, balance, and aromatic richness that are the hallmarks of our wines.
