Famille Perrin 2022 Côtes du Rhône Red Blend: A Timeless Classic for Every Occasion

Producer & Origin:
Crafted by the esteemed Famille Perrin in the heart of France’s Rhône Valley, this 2022 Côtes du Rhône red blend is a true expression of the region’s terroir. Sourced from their Grand Prébois vineyards in Orange (for Grenache) and Vinsobres vineyards (for Syrah), this wine embodies the essence of traditional Rhône winemaking.

Grape Varieties & Blend:
A harmonious blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Mourvèdre, and 20% Syrah, this wine offers a perfect balance of fruit-forward character and structured elegance. The Grenache brings ripe red berry flavors, while Mourvèdre adds depth and spice, and Syrah contributes dark fruit notes and firm tannins.

Tasting Notes & Style:
Described as “fruity and fleshy with beautiful tannins,” this everyday drinking wine is ideal for those seeking a versatile, approachable red. Its smooth texture and balanced acidity make it perfect for pairing with casual meals, gatherings, or simply unwinding after a long day. Winemaker notes highlight its consistency and reliability—a wine you’ll want to keep on hand year-round.

Terroir & Vineyard Details:
The Grand Prébois vineyard features clayey limestone soils dotted with stones, imparting minerality to the Grenache. Meanwhile, the Vinsobres vineyard’s quartz-rich terraces and marl limestone enhance the Syrah’s complexity. This unique combination of terroirs ensures a wine with distinct regional character.

Alcohol Content & Serving Suggestions:
With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this medium-bodied red pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. Serve slightly chilled (around 16–18°C) to accentuate its freshness and fruitiness.
