The Perrin family is a well known French name in the wine business.  From their premium organic estate in Chateauneuf-du-Pape to their value priced consistent quality Le Vielle Ferme range, you know you are going to get a good bottle from Perrin.  Perrin Nature falls under their “Crus” range which highlights the flavours of the Southern Rhône Valley and its diverse terroirs. With the same expertise and the same passion as for Château de Beaucastel, the family prides itself in bringing out the true character of each terroir.  The “Famille Perrin” way makes each wine unique: using organic and biodynamic approaches, mastering the art of blending and bringing out the freshness of the Southern aromas.  

Tasting Notes

Deep-ruby red with purple reflections. The nose combines notes of red fruit, baking spices, white pepper with a hint of well integrated toast and vanilla. The palate full with concentrated flavours of black cherry jam, spice and subtle oak.   The finish is long with a beautiful aromatic intensity and velvety tannins.  This wine shows elegance and has good aging potential.  Enjoy with roasted and grilled meats, lamb and dishes that incoorporate mediterranean herbs and spices.  

Method

The 30 hectares of Coudoulet are located just east of the vineyard of Beaucastel on the other side of the A7 motorway.  Coudoulet is often considered the baby Beaucastel. The soil here has many similarities to that of Beaucastel; it is made out of Molasse; a seabed covered by diluvial alpine deposits. These pebbles, called “Galets Roulés”, take in the heat during the day and radiate back to the vines at night which promotes ripening and also gives the vines a good start in the Spring. 

This wine is a blend of Grenache 40 %, Mourvèdre 30 %, Syrah 20 %, Cinsault 10 %.  Each variety is harvested manually and separately, then sorted in the cellar. The harvest is heated to 80°C (skins) and then cooled down to 20°C. Classic maceration occurs in cement tanks for 12 days. Pressing in pneumatic presses. Blending of the different varietals after malolactic fermentation. Ageing in Oak Foudres for 6 months.
