Famille Perrin Ventoux Rouge

The Perrin family, also owners of the famous Château de Beaucastel, search for the most suitable terroirs to produce a fresh and fruity wine. Unpretentious, this is the archetypal pleasure wine; authentic, genuine and tasty.

2012 is a vintage of contrasts with a very mild start of the year and a freezing month of February.
A fresh and humid spring, followed by a windy and dry month of July and a very hot month of August.
The harvesting conditions were ideal. All these conditions make a great vintage.

The vineyards are located on the slopes of Mont Ventoux. The altitude offers freshness, which provides a good acidity level to the grapes. The wine is therefore fresh, fruity and well balanced.

This varies according to altitude but consists for
the most part of deposits left around the base
of the chalky Mont Ventoux by the seas of the
Tertiary period. Red Mediterranean soils blend
with chalk debris and round stones.

This is adapted to suit each wine, grape variety
and producer. Nearly all the grapes are lightly
crushed and fermented in cement vats of 150
and 300 hectolitres. The fermentation is classic
and extended.
The wine is kept in both vats and large oak barrels
for ten months, then bottled in July.
