✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the terraced hillsides of Vinsobres, the northernmost appellation of the Southern Rhône, Les Cornuds represents a beautiful marriage of Northern and Southern Rhône styles. The name refers to the specific elevated plots where the Perrin family cultivates Syrah and Grenache at altitudes reaching up to 300 meters. This elevation exposes the vines to cool Alpine drafts, preserving a vibrant acidity and mineral tension that is rare in the sun-drenched south. In the cellar, the Perrins handle each variety with tailored care: the Syrah is partially aged in oak foudres to develop structure and subtle spice, while the Grenache is kept in stainless steel and concrete vats to safeguard its luscious red-fruit purity. The resulting wine is a testament to Vinsobres' unique terroir, balancing dark fruit, cracked black pepper, and elegant, fine-grained tannins.
🍾 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.
