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 vintage started with a long winter and one of the driest ones in the past years followed by an inexistent Spring. The crop development was very slow due to important climatic variations. The winemakers’ work was therefore crucial to get good quality grapes in small quantities. 2013 was a complicated vintage and late but is wonderfully balanced and is very promising.

Tasting

Beautiful bright and shiny colour with green undertones. Floral nose and delicate notes of white-­‐flesh fruit (apple and peach), great aromatic freshness. The mouth is rich and balanced, with great minerality. The finish is long and persistent.
