2019 Famille Perrin - Cotes du Rhone

Full screwcapped bottle just 1,150 g. 50% Grenache Blanc, 20% Marsanne, 20% Roussanne, 10% Viognier. Sourced from the cooler clay-limestone areas of Cairanne and Jonquières. A 15-day cool fermentation. Unoaked. Pretty big-boned with herbs dominant. Too heavy and low-acid to make a great aperitif but it's a well-made food wine. A bit of heat on the finish. No great fruit concentration. (JR)
