2024 Famille Perrin Reserve Cotes du Rhone Blanc, Rhone Valley

Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Blanc is a fresh, expressive white that captures the sunny generosity of the Rhône while keeping its balance and charm firmly intact. This is a wine built for pleasure, but made with the same care and regional understanding that has made the Perrin family one of the Rhône Valley’s most respected names.

The Perrin family’s roots in the southern Rhône run deep, best known for Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf du Pape, but their Réserve wines draw on a broader palette of vineyards across the region. For the Blanc, fruit comes from selected sites with limestone and clay soils, often at slightly higher or cooler exposures, helping preserve freshness in what can be a warm climate. The blend typically features Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne, each contributing its own character.

In the glass, the wine is bright and inviting. White peach, pear and citrus sit alongside floral notes and a hint of fennel. There is a gentle creaminess on the palate, balanced by lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and easy to drink. Subtle savoury notes and a clean finish add interest without complicating things.

This is a white made for the table and everyday enjoyment. It works beautifully with grilled fish, seafood, salads, roast chicken or Mediterranean dishes with herbs and olive oil. Best enjoyed young for its vibrancy and fruit, it delivers immediate satisfaction with no need for cellaring.

Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Blanc is a reminder that great regional wines, when made with intent and experience, can offer both value and genuine character in every glass.
