Famille Perrin Sélections Parcellaires Vinsobres - Les Hauts Julien Vieilles Vignes - 2018

Presentation

Vinsobres is one of the most beautiful Crus in the Southern Rhône.

Ageing

The crop is harvested manually. Upon arrival in the cellars, the grapes are sorted, destemmed and vatted in oak casks. After maceration, fermentation starts and extraction is done by punching down and pumping over. Before the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the juices are drained into French oak barrels where they finish fermenting and remain to age for a year and a half.

The vintage

The 2018 vintage is characterised by exceptional weather conditions. Flowering took place in the best possible conditions, with a historically abundant grape output. A few rainy episodes at the end of the spring complicated things a little with an attack of mildew, but the good weather then settled down until harvest, which took place under idyllic conditions. The wines are beautiful.

Serving

17°C.

Tasting

Very deep red colour with ruby undertones. The nose reveals sweet spice such as liquorice combined with a bit of oak. The powerful and very structured palate offers aromas of black fruit; blackcurrants and blackberries with well integrated oak that fits perfectly into the structure of the wine. The finish is spicy with a nice length.
