Famille Perrin Cairanne - Peyre Blanche 2017
Presentation
Cairanne is one of the best terroirs in the Southern Rhône.
Ageing
As of August, we carry out maturity checks and berry tastings to determine the optimal date for harvest. The crop is manually picked and the grapes are sent to the cellar. After sorting, they are destemmed and vatted. Fermentation takes place over approximately 15 days. The extraction is managed according to daily tastings, which will determine if we pump-over or punch-down. When the maceration is finished, we rack and put the juices into large oak Foudres or stainless steel vats.
The vintage
This 2017 vintage will be remembered as the year of all records: the driest year in 30 years, non-interventionist vineyard work, optimal harvest conditions, a very small yield due to climatic hazards, and wines with very rich potential.

Tasting
The Cairanne 2017, composed of Grenache and Syrah, is a fruit bomb, these fruity aromas are typical of the terroir combined with limestone. Fresh with a nice balance, it's a wine that's easy to drink.
