Famille Perrin Côtes du Rhône Villages Rouge

Presentation

This wine is produced by the Perrin family, using the same viticultural and wine-making techniques used at Château de Beaucastel

Ageing

The harvest is sorted and destemmed. Vinification then takes place in stainless steel and oak. Ageing in tanks and Foudre (25%) for a year.

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.
