Famille Perrin

Famille Perrin has produced wines across the Southern Rhône for five generations from Château de Beaucastel, building a reputation as one of the region's most respected producers through a vineyard-led approach and organic practices. They work across multiple appellations—from accessible Côtes-du-Rhône to premium Châteauneuf-du-Pape—giving you entry points at different price levels while maintaining consistent quality and a clear sense of place in every bottle.

About Famille Perrin

The Perrin family's philosophy centres on understanding terroir and letting vineyard conditions guide winemaking decisions. Their use of organic viticulture reflects a commitment to expressing the land itself rather than imposing a house style. This approach has shaped their work across the region's distinct zones. For their Luberon range, the family sources fruit from the Parc Régional de Luberon in the south-east Rhône Valley, where elevation of 300 metres, cooler climate and limestone marl soil deliver natural freshness and acidity. In the Luberon Rosé, Vermentino joins Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah to craft wines with subtle floral notes and red-fruit character, while the Luberon Blanc combines Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc and Roussanne, delivering vibrant citrus with mineral finish. On Mount Ventoux's high slopes, the Ventoux Rouge again benefits from elevation-driven freshness. Its blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan and Cinsault yields fragrant wines featuring ripe red fruit notes tempered by supple tannins. Famille Perrin's Villages expression from the Côtes-du-Rhône, crafted with Grenache and Syrah on stony terraces, employs a three-part aging regimen: neutral vessels preserve primary fruit character while traditional oak foudres and smaller oak barrels contribute structure and complexity—a layered maturation strategy that achieves freshness alongside depth and delivers genuine value for quality delivered.

Food Pairing

Luberon whites work with goat's cheese, herb-dressed fish and lighter vegetable dishes. Côtes-du-Rhône reds suit roasted chicken, pork chops, Mediterranean tomato-based dishes and aged hard cheeses. Ventoux Rouge handles richer game and beef stews. Châteauneuf-du-Pape crus demand beef, lamb shoulder, duck confit and dishes with earthiness—mushrooms, black olives, herbs.
