PERRIN RESERVE – AOC COTES DU RHONE - RED



The vineyard
Perrin Réserve Rouge is sourced in our own vineyards of Grand Prébois (40 hectares/99 acres) and Vinsobres (45 hectares/111 acres), as well
as from vineyards that we lease under long-term contracts. All these plots are managed and supervised by the Beaucastel team.

Geology
Within the Grand Prébois vineyard, and the adjacent leased land, the soils are of limestoneclay and gravelly clay. At Vinsobres we have terraces that are rich in quartz and limestone marl.

Grape varieties
60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre.

Winemaking
In our own Perrin&Fils winery. De-stemming, with temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless-steel tanks of 150 hectolitres and an otherwise traditional process.

Maturing
Mainly in tanks, with 25% in casks, for 12 months.
Bottling in December, after fining using egg white.

Tasting notes
A beautiful deep red hue that seems almost opaque. The nose shows caramel and spices that mingle with red berry fruit. The palate is full and deep, with fine tannins and good length.

Serving
Served at 18°C (64°F) this is the perfect companion to straightforward meals with dishes such as grilled meat or poultry.
Its fine structure will also enable it to match more complex flavours, especialy mediterranean or provençal dishes.
