Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Blanc - 2019

Presentation

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

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested early in the morning to benefit from the freshness of the night. After pressing, the juices are cold settled in order to remove suspended particles. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and lasts about 15 days, the temperatures are regulated at 16 ° C. The wines are then racked and aged in stainless steel tanks until bottling.

The vintage

The years in 9 regularly mark the memory of winegrowers and this vintage was no exception. After an early bud burst in early April, flowering was gradual and took place in good conditions in all the vineyards. Then a hot summer began in late June, which the vines bravely resisted: they suffered little from water stress, thanks to the chamomile herbal infusions we sprayed on the vegetation to cope with the heat. Finally, the harvest went as usual, without any particular precocity. The wines are promising; a vintage in 9 is born, once again, under a lucky star.

Tasting

Attractive pale yellow colour with slightly green undertones. This wine shows a subtle, slightly buttery nose, with notes of white flowers such as almond and honeysuckle. The freshness on the palate has a nice minerality, enhanced by a delicate bitterness on the finish.
