Description

Famille Perrin signs a great Vinsobres wine that is distinguished and refined

The estate

Committed to an artisanal viticulture respectful of the terroir and the environment, Famille Perrin has become over the vintages an unmissable reference among the great Rhône Valley wines. Pioneer in innovative biological agriculture from 1950, then biodynamic in 1974, Famille Perrin develops great wines, globally renowned for their quality and refinement.  

The vineyard

Les Cornuds 2018 from the Famille Perrin is a Vinsobres wine that comes from vineyards planted in the village it is named after, situated 20 kilometres north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Perrin family looks after 60 hectares in one piece of land, on terraces and hillsides. This vineyard, the most northerly of those in south Rhône, rests on stony and sandy hillside marls on the hillsides, and stony quaternary alluvium on the terraces.

The vintage

The 2018 vintage is characterised by ideal climactic conditions in the Rhône Valley. The gradual and steady flowering led to an exceptionally abundant grape crop.  The end of the rainy spring brought about an attack of mildew, but warm weather set in afterwards up to the harvest, which took place in optimal conditions.

Winemaking and ageing

Harvested by hand, the grapes were sorted, destemmed and put in separate vats : the syrahs were vinified in conical wooden vats and the grenaches in stainless steel vats, pumped over. Malolactic fermentation then blending.

Blend

Les Cornuds 2018 of Famille Perrin is the result of a blend of grenache (60%) and syrah (40%).
