2023 Famille Perrin Reserve Cotes du Rhone Rose, Rhone

The Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Rosé is an elegant and refreshing wine that captures the charm and vibrancy of the southern Rhône Valley. Produced by the renowned Perrin family, celebrated for their stewardship of Château de Beaucastel, this rosé showcases their expertise in crafting wines that embody the region’s terroir and heritage.

This rosé is a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre, sourced from vineyards with limestone and clay soils. These varietals thrive in the Rhône’s Mediterranean climate, producing fruit with balanced ripeness and acidity. The grapes are gently pressed, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine’s fresh and delicate character.

The wine pours a pale salmon-pink, shimmering with clarity. On the nose, it offers aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and citrus, complemented by subtle floral notes and a hint of white pepper.

On the palate, the Famille Perrin Réserve Rosé is crisp and lively, with flavors of red berries, grapefruit, and a touch of stone fruit. A refreshing acidity and a dry, mineral-driven finish make it an ideal choice for warm weather and versatile food pairings.

Perfect as an aperitif, this rosé also pairs wonderfully with Mediterranean-inspired dishes, such as grilled fish, niçoise salad, or charcuterie. Its approachable and vibrant style makes it a favorite for casual gatherings or elegant dining alike.
