Famille Perrin Cairanne Rouge Peyre Blanche - 2024
Presentation
Cairanne, situated between Rasteau and Sainte-Cécile Les Vignes, is home to one of the finest terroirs in the Southern Rhône. Here the vines are cultivated 100% organically and produce deliciously mouth-watering, fruit driven wines, with very fine tannins.
Ageing
From the month of August onwards we carry out maturity checks and taste the berries regularly to determine the optimum harvest date. The grapes are picked by hand and immediately transported to the cellar where they are meticulously sorted before being destemmed and vatted. They are then cold fermented for around 15 days. Extraction is managed according to daily tasting which guides our decisions concerning pumping over or cap punching. When this maceration is finished we run off the wines for a short period of vinification in stainless-steel or concrete vats to preserve all the freshness of the fruit, and just the right amount of tannins. The wine is not aged in wood for the same reasons.
The vintage
Despite climatic challenges throughout the year requiring constant vigilance and considerable work in the vineyard, the 2024 vintage looks very promising. The harvest began on August 2nd, and the last grapes were picked on October 3rd. Each vineyard was harvested at perfect maturity, with grapes that were both balanced and expressive. The work in the vineyards was demanding, but the efforts made should result in wines of high quality. The first tastings reveal wines with a very good balance, combining fruitiness, tension and finesse. With optimal phenolic maturity, supported by good acidity, they also reveal great freshness and a beautiful structure. Promising qualities for this 2024 vintage which should stand out for its aromatic richness and its aging capacity.

Location
Our 14 hectares of vines in the heart of this historic winegrowing region, acquired in 2008, sit in the west of the AOP, and south-west of the old village, between Rasteau and Sainte-Cécile Les Vignes. This ideal position enables the Grenache to ripen slowly. A section of the vineyard was planted in the fifties.
Terroir
Superb terraces of clay, gravel, and soft sandstone. The name of this wine is a reference to this chalky terroir of white stones (‘Peyre’ from the French ‘pierre’ meaning stone and ‘Blanche’ meaning white).
