Famille Perrin - Côtes du Rhône - Reserve - Rouge

A warm, generous vintage that delivers a classic southern Rhône profile with good purity and balance. On the nose, it opens with ripe black cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, supported by garrigue herbs (thyme, rosemary), black pepper, and a touch of violet. There’s also a subtle earthy and slightly smoky note that adds depth without heaviness. The palate is medium-bodied, supple, and fruit-forward, with a core of juicy red and black fruits framed by soft, rounded tannins. The Grenache character shows through with sweet, plush fruit, while Syrah contributes spice, pepper, and structure. Mourvèdre (if present in the blend) adds a touch of savoury depth and grip. Acidity is fresh enough to keep it balanced, making it easy to drink while still structured enough to hold interest. The finish is smooth, medium-length, and gently spicy, with lingering notes of dark fruit and herbs de Provence.
