Presentation

Presentation
Certified Ecocert, Perrin Nature is both an "organic" Côtes-du-Rhône and a great wine. Stemming from our experience in organic farming (Beaucastel was one of the first major French estates to turn to organic farming 40 years ago), this wine has great freshness combining fruity and floral aromas.
The vintage
The years in 9 regularly mark the memory of winegrowers and this vintage was no exception. After an early bud burst in early April, flowering was gradual and took place in good conditions in all the vineyards. Then a hot summer began in late June, which the vines bravely resisted: they suffered little from water stress, thanks to the chamomile herbal infusions we sprayed on the vegetation to cope with the heat. Finally, the harvest went as usual, without any particular precocity. The wines are promising; a vintage in 9 is born, once again, under a lucky star.
Location
The vineyard is located in the northern part of Côtes du Rhône, on the locality of Vinsobres and its surroundings.
Terroir
Stones, gravelly clay and limestone soils.
Ageing
The grapes are harvested early in the morning to preserve their freshness. After pressing, the juices are cold settled in order to remove suspended particles. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures of 16 ° C. The wines are then racked and aged in stainless steel tanks until bottling.
Varietals
Grenache blanc
Viognier
Roussanne
Marsanne

Reviews

"A wonderfully rich and expressive organic southern Rhone white blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. Intriguing nose that has aromas of honeysuckle, peach, and citrus. The rounded and fresh palate is well balanced with good acidity, notes of white peach and white pepper, and a streak of minerality. Excellent length and aftertaste. Classic Rhone blend. "
