Description
It is no coincidence Famille Perrin is the leading organic wine grower of the Southern Rhône Valley where they occupy the region’s best terroirs. Their values have given them a worldwide reputation for excellence: absolute respect for the soil, a commitment to manual methods and a deep belief that organic viticulture is the only way to express the true essence of the terroir. Moreover the combination of talents within the family ensures the continuation of their unique expertise. Nature and tradition are key to the Famille Perrin way and this approach has continued seamlessly over five generations.
Tasting Notes
Exceptionally dark in colour – plentiful, generous oak ageing but all very well integrated, this is very fresh expression. Fairly full in body, with a little smoky char on the palate. Acidity is robust, piercing, and it’s not shy in alcohol. A flamboyant style this year. 90-year-old Syrah co-planted with Grenache, grown at 400m altitude.[92/100 – Matt Walls – October 2019 – Decanter.com]
