A colour of deep cherry red. The nose is of ripe fruit & rich & spicy. The palate's of red fruit (blackcurrant & blackberry), spice with a fresh finish. The Perrin family, also owners of the famous Chateau de Beaucastel, search for the most suitable terroirs to produce a fresh & fruity wine. Unpretentious, this is the archetypal pleasure wine; authentic, genuine & tasty. The 2011 vintage is a vintage of contrasts. That is to say an unusually hot, dry spring followed by a wet & rainy beginning of July & then an Indian summer lasting until the end of October. Carefully sorting & destemming the harvest allowed for a great vintage, particularly for the late harvest varieties. Limited stock.
