Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2011

Presentation

"Côtes du Rhône par Excellence". Fruity and fleshy with beautiful tannins, its a great everyday wine.

Ageing

After the harvest is sorted and destemmed, vinification takes place in stainless steel and oak. Ageing occurs in tanks and Foudre 25% of the year.

The vintage

The 2011 vintage is a vintage of contrasts. That is to say an unusually hot, dry spring followed by a wet and rainy beginning of July and then an Indian summer lasting until the end of October. Carefully sorting and destemming the harvest allowed for a great vintage, particularly for the late harvest varieties.
