Presentation
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.
Ageing
Handpicked harvest in 25 kg boxes. Crushing, long fermentation (1 month) in tanks of 50 hectolitres and in Foudres (50%). Blending after malolactic fermentation.
The vintage
The Perrin Family will remember the 2013 vintage as the vines around Chateau de Beaucastel required their permanent attention. The harvest was late and volumes were very small. Having said that, the harvest conditions, the analytical balance and the first tastings are reminiscent of wonderful vintages such as 1990, 1995 or 2001.
