≪Details≫
The aroma is very complex and concentrated with notes of gentian, licorice, cedar, pink pepper, raspberry and cherry. It is powerful and very well-structured, with dense tannins.
Famille Perrin's Vacqueyras is a beautiful example of Grenache-based wines from the Southern Rh_ne Valley, with an impressive aromatic expression, structured body, and great aging potential. Produced on a very clayey terroir with stones from the Ouv_ze river, the Grenache is dominant and develops a fleshy wine. It's typical aromas of chocolate, cherry, and fig match beautifully with the Syrah (violet, spice, licorice).
