“The 2020 Gigondas Clos des Tourelles should be a step up. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and remarkably well-balanced, it has a terrific mix of red and almost blue fruits as well as peppery herbs and flowers. Already complex and nuanced, yet concentrated and rich, it’s a serious effort from the Perrin family that’s going to have 15+ years of overall longevity.”
About The Winery
With roots in the wine industry tracing back to 1909 with the purchase of the famed Château de Beaucastel, Famille Perrin is the leading organic wine grower of the Southern Rhône Valley, where they occupy the region's best terroirs. Today the 4th generation, Jean-Pierre and François, and 5th generation, Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cécile, Charles, Matthieu and César, work hand in hand, overseeing every aspect of the business: from the vineyard to the cellar, marketing to sales. Famille Perrin's range of wines offers the richness and diversity of the Southern Rhône Valley. The family has vineyards across the Southern Rhône Valley including the towns of Orange, Cairanne, Jonquières, Tulette, Visan; and the appellations of St Gervais, Domaine de la Bicarell, and Vinsobres. Organic viticulture has been practiced by the family since 1950 and biodynamic practices were introduced in 1974. Masters in the art of blending, the Famille Perrin cares for each of the unique brands it produces with the same expertise and same passion, bringing out the true character of each terroir and offering the best wines for different occasion and at different price points.
