Description

Apricot, white peach and pear with honeysuckle, ginger and a warm spiced note. Broad and satiny on the palate but pulled straight by fresh acidity and a faintly bitter, mineral finish. Viognier from steep terraced slopes above the Rhone, picked by hand. Fermentation and ageing are split between stainless steel tank and older barrels, which builds texture without leaving any obvious oak.

Andre Perret

André Perret’s passion for vines made the biology graduate return to the village of Verlieu-Chavanay, where he succeeded his father in 1982. The farmland situated on the right bank of the river Rhône, then mainly occupied by fruit trees, was replanted with vine stocks and extended to 13 hectares. Perret’s exemplary Condrieu, Saint-Joseph and varietal wines have flavours and aromas expressing the exceptional growing conditions of the vines and the meticulous attention given to the making of the wine.

Southern Rhone

The Southern Rhône, a renowned wine region in southeastern France, is celebrated for its diverse and robust wines. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, it is ideal for viticulture. The Southern Rhône is famous for its blends, particularly from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, producing rich, full-bodied reds with complex flavours of dark fruit, spices, and herbs. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious appellation, known for its powerful and age-worthy wines. It also excels in producing aromatic whites and refreshing rosés. With its varied terroir and traditional winemaking techniques, the Southern Rhône offers a captivating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking high-quality and flavourful wines.
