2022 Famille Perrin Cotes du Rhone Blanc Reserve

Winemaker Notes: Attractive pale yellow colour with slightly green undertones. This wine shows a subtle, slightly buttery nose, with notes of white flowers such as almond and honeysuckle. The freshness on the palate has a nice minerality, enhanced by a delicate bitterness on the finish.

The Vintage: The years in 9 regularly mark the memory of winegrowers and this vintage was no exception. After an early bud burst in early April, flowering was gradual and took place in good conditions in all the vineyards. Then a hot summer began in late June, which the vines bravely resisted: they suffered little from water stress, thanks to the chamomile herbal infusions we sprayed on the vegetation to cope with the heat. Finally, the harvest went as usual, without any particular precocity. The wines are promising; a vintage in 9 is born, once again, under a lucky star.

Situation: Located on the fresh and light soils of Cairanne and Jonquières. The vineyard is situated between the rivers of Ouvèze and Aigues.

Terrior: Recent alluvial deposits of calcareous origin with variations according to the river path, clayey limestone.

Process: Crushing in pneumatic presses, fining of the must and refrigeration. Regulated fermentation in tanks.
