Famille Perrin Vinsobres Les Hauts de Julien

This is a result of the Perrin family's commitment to shining a light on the complexities of the best sites in the Southern Rhone Valley. This single vineyard is planted with 90 year old Grenache and syrah vines which generally ripen together, permitting a single harvest. Organically farmed, the vineyard is positioned on the hillside terraces made up of limestone rock, stony soils and varying amounts of clay, which lends the wine both concentration and a stunning purity of fruit. Vinsobres is located at the most northerly point of the Southern Rhone at an altitude of 300m which provides a cooler climate for the Syrah. The grapes are co-fermented and transferred to oak barrels just before the end of fermentation, and aged for 18 months before bottling. The resulting wine is perfumed and elegant with notes of black olive, cocoa and sweet spice bound by tightly wound tannins and intensely concentrated fruit.
