Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Rosé - 2017

Presentation

Presentation
An intense rosé typical of Côtes du Rhône.
The vintage
This 2017 vintage will be remembered as the year of all records: the driest year in 30 years, non-interventionist vineyard work, optimal harvest conditions, a very small yield due to climatic hazards, and wines with very rich potential.
Location
This wine is produced from our vineyard Le Grand Prébois in Orange.
Terroir
There are 2 types of soils at Le Grand Prébois, stone, clay and limestone on one side and gravel and clay on the other.
Ageing
The grapes are harvested early in the morning to benefit from the freshness of the night. The proximity of the vines to the Grand Prébois cellars allows the grapes to be pressed straight after picking. After pressing, the juices are cold settled in order to remove suspended particles. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and lasts about 15 days, the temperatures are regulated between 14 and 16 ° C. The wines are then racked and aged in stainless steel tanks until bottling.
Varietals
Cinsault
Grenache
Mourvèdre
Syrah

Advice

Serving

Tasting
This 2017 presents a pretty pale pink colour. On the nose, attractive notes of red fruit and citrus fruit (bergamot, grapefruit) and a lot of freshness. The palate fully expresses the 2017 vintage combining freshness and fruit.

Reviews

"Une perle de plus dans la gamme des vins de la Famille Perrin ; un vin qui enchante dès le premier regard avec sa jolie robe pâle. On aime aussi sa grande intensité aromatique centrée sur les petits fruits rouges (groseille, fraise des bois), ainsi que sa bouche précise, gourmande et tonique, à l’équilibre magistral. Un rosé de grande classe, friand à souhait."
