Perrin Vacqueyras

Famille Perrin’s Vacqueyras is a beautiful example of Grenache based wines from the Southern Rhône Valley, with an impressive aromatic expression, structured body and great ageing potential. The 2018 vintage is characterised by exceptional weather conditions. Flowering took place in the best possible conditions, with a historically abundant grape output. A few rainy episodes at the end of the spring complicated things a little with an attack of mildew, but the good weather then settled down until harvest, which took place under idyllic conditions. The wines are beautiful. Winemakers Tasting Notes - Superb deep-purple colour. The powerful and complex nose develops notes of “Garrigue”, cocoa and black fruit. Its rich and smooth mouth offers aromas of blackberry and violet with a slightly minty finish and great length. Wine Spectator 90/100: A fresh and unadorned style, with damson plum and cherry notes laced with subtle sanguine and mineral threads. The finish is restrained but sneaky long. Serving suggestion: The ideal match for this wine is a leg of venison with Gentian, sautéed potatoes with onions and garlic. 75% Grenache, 25% Syrah
