Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Rouge Signature - 2024
Presentation
Certified organic by Ecocert, Perrin Signature is not only an organic Côtes-du-Rhône but also a great wine. Using our experience in organic farming at Beaucastel (one of the first big estates to turn to organic farming 40 years ago), this wine is a beautiful expression of fruit with delicate and soft tannins.
Winemaking
The harvest date is determined by checking the ripeness of the grapes with analysis and tasting the berries. As soon as they arrive at the winery, the grapes are sorted and destemmed. The fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks between 150hl and 190hl. The extraction is done by pumping over and the frequency is determined by tasting. After racking and malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred partly to oak barrels and partly to stainless steel vats where they will be aged for a year.
The vintage
Despite climatic challenges throughout the year requiring constant vigilance and considerable work in the vineyard, the 2024 vintage looks very promising. The harvest began on August 2nd, and the last grapes were picked on October 3rd. Each vineyard was harvested at perfect maturity, with grapes that were both balanced and expressive. The work in the vineyards was demanding, but the efforts made should result in wines of high quality. The first tastings reveal wines with a very good balance, combining fruitiness, tension and finesse. With optimal phenolic maturity, supported by good acidity, they also reveal great freshness and a beautiful structure. Promising qualities for this 2024 vintage which should stand out for its aromatic richness and its aging capacity.

Tasting
Beautiful garnet-red color with ruby highlights. Highly aromatic, the nose reveals intense aromas of fresh small red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry, underlined by notes of sweet spices and forest floor. Ample and structured, the palate offers a beautiful balance and extends these aromas of stewed red fruits and sweet spices, supported by fine and silky tannins. The finish is long and persistent for this particularly harmonious wine.
