Domaines Perrin

The traditions behind the fine wines made by the Perrin family date back to 1909. At that time, Gabriel Tramier, an olive grower, purchased Château de Beaucastel. Tramier’s son-in-law, Pierre Perrin, then took over the wine estate, where he worked in total respect of the traditional wine-making methods. Pierre Perrin’s scientific background also led him to introduce new techniques. His phylosophy was straightforward : « Wine must be made from natural ingredients ». To make such wines, Pierre Perrin considered that only the healthiest, naturally ripened grapes should be harvested, deliberately opting for low yields. In his opinion, man must respect and work with the forces of nature, and take great care not to deteriorate them. Pierre Perrin wanted the soils to express their intrinsic characteristics, and to find their natural expresssion in the wines made at Beaucastel. Jacques Perrin, Pierre’s son, is regarded as one of the most brilliant winemakers of his time. He continued the work strated by his father, and founded the Vieille Ferme. The company is now managed by the fifth generation of the Perrin family, which has pursued the same philosophy established by their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers. The result of these unwavering efforts are revealed in each one of the wines they make.
