"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.

We have a beautiful weather this tuesday and we picked some of the Grenache Blanc which is part of the blend or our Cotes du Rhone White Perrin Reserve.

The density is measured by mustimeter (picture).

After fermentation, this must will be blended with some Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne must in order to make our Perrin Reserve white cuvee.

We stop the harvest at 11am because the temperature is becoming too high and we want to pick only cool grapes. We will start again tomorrow at 6am.

'Lively with tasty licorice and raspberry flavors, backed by nice graphite and spice notes and a racy finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now.'

After a couple of days of rain at the end of last week, the mistral started blowing strongly on sunday, cleaned the sky and dried the grapes.
Today (monday) the weather is also very nice and windy... these are ideal conditions.
We started the red grapes by harvesting the Cinsault of Coudoulet de Beaucastel and the first Syrah .

In the beggining of the small video below, Pierre Perrin does a final maturity check before we start the harvest of the syrah.
