✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sun-drenched terraces of the Vacqueyras appellation, Les Christins is a testament to the Famille Perrin's mastery of the southern Rhône's diverse terroirs. The wine takes its name from a historic lieu-dit characterized by stony, clay-limestone soils covered with smooth river stones that absorb the daytime heat and radiate it back to the vines at night. This specific plot is home to old Grenache vines, which provide the backbone of the blend, offering deep concentration and rich dark fruit flavors. Complemented by Syrah, which adds structure, color, and a signature cracked black pepper spice, the wine is crafted using traditional vinification methods and aged in oak foudres to preserve its vibrant fruit character while softening the tannins. The result is a robust, earthy, and remarkably elegant expression of Vacqueyras.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Famille Perrin er et af de mest respekterede vinhuse i det sydlige Rhône og har sit historiske anker i den berømte ejendom Château de Beaucastel i Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Gennem generationer har Perrin-familien været pionerer inden for bæredygtighed; allerede i 1950 omlagde de til økologisk dyrkning, og i 1974 indførte den visionære Jacques Perrin biodynamiske metoder. Husets vinfilosofi bygger på et autentisk terroirudtryk, biodiversitet og bevarelsen af de stolte traditioner for blandingsvine – ikke mindst gennem anvendelsen af alle tretten tilladte druesorter i Châteauneuf-du-Pape med en særlig forkærlighed for Mourvèdre. I dag står Famille Perrin bag en bred og prestigefuld portefølje, der spænder fra den legendariske og lagringsværdige Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin til arketypiske fortolkninger af Gigondas, Cairanne og klassisk Côtes du Rhône.
