Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Blanc - 2014

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 2014 vintage is surprising for the region. It is characterised by a mild, damp winter, a hot and dry spring and a temperate and humid summer. An unusual year, a winemaker year. Bud break was very early, flowering took place in ideal conditions and fruit set was excellent, especially on Grenache. However, work in the vineyard and rigorous monitoring of the vineyard until harvest were necessary with wet months of July and August, favouring the vegetative growth. The harvest of white grapes took place under bright sunshine, with very nice analytical balances.

Very aromatic wine with notes of white flesh fruit and flowers, with good acidity that gives a fresh and savoury character.
