Famille Perrin Côtes-du-Rhône Villages Rouge - 2021
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 date is determined by checking the ripeness of the grapes with analysis and tasting the berries. As soon as they arrive at the winery, the grapes are sorted and destemmed. The fermentation takes place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks between 150hl and 190hl. The extraction is done by pumping over and the frequency is determined by tasting. After racking and malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred partly to oak barrels, partly to oak Foudres and finally the rest goes into stainless steel vats where they will be aged for a year.
The vintage
2021 is a vintage marked by freshness, which is similar to the vintages we had in the eighties and nineties. It is also what we call a "winegrower vintage", human intervention and the care given to the vines were decisive for the quality of the vintage. Marked by climatic vagaries, with an episode of frost in April and interrupted harvest because of rain, this year has indeed required constant investment from our teams in the vineyard. Their attention and their commitment have borne their fruit: this vintage is very promising with lots of freshness and great balance.

Tasting
Beautiful intense and deep garnet-red colour with shiny reflections. This wine opens with a particularly seductive and complex nose with notes of black cherries and white pepper, delicately blended with smoky notes. The complexity continues on the palate with elegance thanks to fine and silky tannins which balance this powerful and structured wine with opulent aromas of black fruit and typical spices of Syrah. The long finish is very refined, punctuated by notes of sweet spices.
