Famille Perrin Gigondas - La Gille - 2013
Presentation
The vines grow on limestone, calcareous marl and sandy soils, giving the Grenache immense finesse and elegance with unique aromas.
Ageing
The whole harvest is destemmed. Vinification in wooden truncated casks and stainless steel tanks. Ageing in Foudres and barriques.
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
In 2013, harvest of the Grenache was a challenge. Plot selections and a ruthless sorting out in the vineyard allowed us to produce this beautiful wine. The nose is complex with rich notes of red and black fruit. The mouth is lush and powerful, the tannins are soft and elegant with a long and mineral finish.
