Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne - Peyre Blanche 2015

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

2015 was a magnificent year in the south as well, characterized by excellent sanitary conditions thanks to the mild, wet winter, followed by a relatively hot, dry spring. The vines coped well with the extreme heat and lack of rain in the summer thanks to good hydric reserves. Following satisfactory flowering, rapid and regular ripening was assisted by rain that fell in August, producing berries rich in phenolic compounds and anthocyanins. As in the north, harvesting took place under excellent conditions.

Tasting

This Cairanne 2015 presents a great aromatic intensity, with notes of crunchy black fruit, highlighted by mild spices and flowers. The tannins are soft and elegant bringing to this wine great length and personality.
