The estate
The Famille Perrin follows an artisanal, nature-friendly approach, establishing itself as a leading producer of great Rhône wines. A pioneer in organic viticulture since 1950 and in biodynamics since 1974, it crafts cuvées acclaimed for their quality and elegance.

The wine
This cuvée Réserve embodies with purity the expression of the great terroirs of the Côtes du Rhône. It comes from two exceptional terroirs: the stony parcels of Prébois, rich in clay, limestone and gravel, and the terraces of Vinsobres, with soils composed of quartz and marly limestone.

The vintage
The 2022 vintage was marked by contrasting climatic conditions, with a dry winter and spring followed by a hot summer, but timely rains in mid-August promoted progressive grape ripening. Despite heterogeneity in yields across parcels, the sanitary quality was excellent.

Vinification and aging
After meticulous sorting and destemming, the grapes ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, with pumping over to promote extraction. This is followed by racking, then malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged for one year in wooden and stainless steel tanks.

Blend
Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah
