Famille Perrin Vinsobres Les Cornuds 750 ML

Beautiful, deep purple color. The Syrah that makes up this wine brings roundness with notes of spices and fleshy red fruit. The altitude of this vineyard, also allows this wine to keep good freshness which gives it a very nice balance.

Producer Information
Famille Perrin is a leading wine producer and négociant in the southern Rhône Valley. The business was established in 1997, and today makes wines from some of the region’s most famous appellations, including Vacqueyras, Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Perrin family has been making wine in the region since the early 1900s, when scientist Pierre Perrin inherited the Château de Beaucastel estate. Perrin’s grandchildren, François and Jean-Pierre, founded the Famille Perrin business together before passing on the reins two years later to the fifth-generation Perrin, Pierre, in 1999. In addition to its renowned Château de Beaucastel estate, Famille Perrin’s portfolio includes Miraval, Domaine du Clos des Tourelles and La Vielle Ferme. Domaine du Clos des Tourelles is situated in Gigondas and comprises 10 hectares (25 acres) of vineyards planted to 80 percent Grenache, with smaller plantings of Syrah, Cinsaut and Mourvèdre. The La Vielle Ferme brand was established in the 1970s, and comprises a range of red, rosé and white wines from vineyards in Ventoux and Luberon. Famille Perrin uses organic and biodynamic approaches in its vineyards. The company’s red and rosé wines include the likes of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhone Villages and Tavel – all based predominantly on the Grenache variety. The white wine portfolio includes a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc made from Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc, as well as a Côtes du Rhône Blanc based on a blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne.
