Famille Perrin Côtes-du-Rhône Réserve Rouge 2023 - HALF BOTTLE
This wine offers a deep ruby-red hue and opens with ripe black and red berry aromas—blackcurrant, cherry—alongside subtle pepper and herbs. On the palate it’s medium to full-bodied, framed by gentle tannins and a fresh acidity, finishing clean with hints of garrigue and spice.

The Famille Perrin Côtes-du-Rhône Réserve Rouge captures the essence of the Southern Rhône in a glass—vineyards bathed in Mediterranean sun, soils rich in limestone and quartz, and vines trained for flavour intensity. Drawing on Grenache from the Prébois plateau and Syrah from the higher Vinsobres terraces, the blend brings together lush dark-berry fruit and herby spice. The fermentation and ageing are handled with care—gentle extraction, temperature controlled stainless steel, and a touch of oak to lend structure without dominance.
On tasting you’ll find juicy notes of blackberries and plums, layered with pepper, garrigue herbs and a whisper of cedar. The tannins are elegant rather than aggressive, and the wine finishes long and poised—fresh enough for early drinking but with enough backbone to evolve a few years. Enjoy it now chilled slightly or cellar for 3-5 years to watch its complexity widen.
Produced by Famille Perrin in the Southern Rhône, the Famille Perrin Côtes‑du‑Rhône Réserve Rouge is typically a blend of Grenache (~40 %), Mourvèdre (~40 %), and Syrah (~20 %) from the Prébois and Vinsobres vineyards. The grapes are destemmed, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, then aged partly in oak barrels and partly in stainless steel vats for about one year.
