Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Villages Cairanne - Peyre Blanche 2014

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 2014 vintage is unexpected for the region. A mild and wet winter, a hot and dry spring and temperate and humid summer characterizes this vintage. An atypical year, a winemaker’s vintage. Bud-break took place very early and flowering was carried out in ideal conditions and fruit set was excellent, especially on Grenache. However, work in the vineyards and constant monitoring were necessary all the way through to harvest. The months of July and August were humid favouring growth.

Tasting

This Cairanne 2014 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.
