Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne - Peyre Blanche 2013

Presentation

Cairanne is one of the best terroirs in the Southern Rhône

Ageing

Vinified in stainless steel tanks or wooden truncated tanks. The Syrah are aged in barriques.

The vintage

The vintage started with a long winter and one of the driest ones in the past years followed by an inexistent Spring. The crop development was very slow due to important climatic variations. The winemakers’ work was therefore crucial to get good quality grapes in small quantities. 2013 was a complicated vintage and late but is wonderfully balanced and is very promising.

Serving

18°C with Provençal cuisine

Tasting

In 2013, the fermentations were carried out for two thirds with whole bunches that has given huge freshness to this vintage. The colour is a pretty purple-­‐red. With great aromatic intensity, the Cairanne 2013 is fresh with notes of black juicy fruit, mild spices and flowers. The tannins are elegant and refined and give this wine length and personality.
