"Still dark and tight, but with a great core of racy fig, graphite and blackberry confiture notes pushed by a long, mineral- and charcoal-tinged finish. Just needs brief cellaring to stretch out fully."

Drink now through 2010.—J.M.

"Still tight, but with lots of fig, hoisin sauce, raspberry ganache, incense and mesquite notes waiting to emerge fully. This has silky tannins and a long, perfumed finish. There’s also great underlying acidity.  "

Best from 2010 through 2013.—J.M.

Sasha Speicher, a well-known German journalist in the wine trade visited us last summer to write an article for Weinwelt Magazine about Perrin & Fils, specialists of wines from the Southern Rhône Valley.

Sasha is an enthusiastic cyclist just like Jean-Pierre Perrin and therefore it was only natural for them to visit the different Terroirs around the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Mont Ventoux by bike.

The article published in Weinwelt magazine in October-November 2008 is very interesting and available to download for those of you who speak German: Download the article

For those of you who don’t, here are a few photos of the day out.

Gary Vaynerchuk is the host of Wine Library TV, featuring wine reviews and advice on wine appreciation. Vaynerchuk himself has been described as "the first wine guru of the Web video era."
Gary & Marc were invited by Loic Lemeur for a unique wine tasting (live on the Web) to cloture the Web 08 conference in Paris.
On the first part of the video Gary Vaynerchuk explains his business model. In the second part of the video Gary Vaynerchuk and Marc Perrin are tasting live Chateau de Beaucastel Blanc 2007 and Chateau de Beaucastel Rouge 2006. I have never seen a wine tasting like that...and you?
