Perrin Family - Signature - Côtes du Rhône Red 2022
The Perrin family has been established in the Rhone Valley since the beginning of the 20th century. In 1909, Pierre Tramier acquired the Château de Beaucastel in Châteuneuf-du-Pape. Subsequently, his son-in-law, Pierre Perrin, followed by his son Jacques, developed Beaucastel and the vineyards owned. Today, the 5th generation operates the wine estates: Château de Beaucastel, Maison & Domaines Les Alexandrins, Domaine du Clos des Tourelles, Famille Perrin, La Vieille Ferme and Miraval en Provence. From 1950, they innovated by working in organic farming , then in 1974, they converted the Château de Beaucastel vineyard to biodynamics.
Famille Perrin Signature is a blend of Grenache and Syrah , grown on stony clay-limestone soils and gravelly clay soils. The grapes are sorted and destemmed, then fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats of 150 to 190 hectoliters. Extraction is done by pumping over based on tasting. After devatting and malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred partly to wooden vats and partly to stainless steel vats where they will be aged for 12 months .
Grape varieties: Grenache, Syrah
