Famille Perrin Sélections Parcellaires Vinsobres - Les Hauts Julien Vieilles Vignes - 2015

Presentation

Vinsobres is one of the most beautiful Crus in the Southern Rhône.

Ageing

Vinified traditionally at the Famille Perrin cellar. Aged (15%) in oak barrels for one year. No filtration before bottling.

The vintage

2015 was a magnificent year in the south as well, characterized by excellent sanitary conditions thanks to the mild, wet winter, followed by a relatively hot, dry spring. The vines coped well with the extreme heat and lack of rain in the summer thanks to good hydric reserves. Following satisfactory flowering, rapid and regular ripening was assisted by rain that fell in August, producing berries rich in phenolic compounds and anthocyanins. As in the north, harvesting took place under excellent conditions.

Tasting

A complex nose, with notes of crunchy black fruit, hot stones, Cocoa, grilled and sweet spices. This wine reveals elegant tannins, rich and finely chiseled, beautiful balance with a mineral tension giving a lot of persistence. Great wine !
