Beaucastels vineyards are famous for their iconic galets rouls large, round pebbles covering the clay, sand, and limestone subsoil. These stones absorb the suns heat during the day and radiate it back to the vines at night, ensuring perfectly ripe fruit and balanced tannins. The varied soil composition imparts layers of minerality and a freshness that is the hallmark of great Chteauneuf-du-Pape.
The grapes for Les Sinards are hand-harvested and sorted meticulously to ensure only the best make it to fermentation. The blend is predominantly Grenache, supported by Syrah and Mourvdre. Fermentation takes place in both wooden and stainless steel vats, maintaining purity and freshness. Aging is carried out for about 12 months in large oak foudres, which allow the wine to develop structure and integrate flavors without overpowering the fruit.
