AboutFamille Perrin
Famille Perrin’s modern history began in 1909, when Pierre Tramier acquired Château de Beaucastel. The estate passed to his son-in-law Pierre Perrin and later to Jacques Perrin; today the fifth generation works alongside Jean-Pierre and François.
The family began farming organically in 1950, and converted Beaucastel to biodynamics in 1974. Across its Rhône vineyards, farming and cellar work are adapted to the soil, exposure and grape varieties of each site.

White flowers lead an elegant, refined and supple palate. The fruit comes from a ten-hectare vineyard just outside Orange, on stony terraces of limestone, sand and clay. Viognier and Marsanne are vinified with temperature control in enamel tanks at about 19°C for roughly three weeks, then bottled six months after harvest. Serve at around 10°C to preserve the wine’s floral lift and gentle texture.
