Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Blanc

Presentation

A remarkably fresh and deep wine, with typical Rhône characteristics, great with Mediterranean food and rockfish.

Ageing

Crushing in pneumatic presses, fining of the must and refrigeration. Regulated fermentation in tanks.

The vintage

The 2011 vintage is a vintage of contrasts. That is to say an unusually hot, dry spring followed by a wet and rainy beginning of July and then an Indian summer lasting until the end of October. Carefully sorting and destemming the harvest allowed for a great vintage, particularly for the late harvest varieties.
