Famille Perrin is one of the Rhône Valley's most respected wine-producing families and the owner of the legendary Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. With a winemaking heritage dating back over a century, the Perrin family is recognised for its commitment to sustainable viticulture and authentic expressions of Rhône terroir. The Réserve range is crafted from estate vineyards and long-standing grower partnerships, offering exceptional value while reflecting the family's meticulous approach to quality.

The 2019 Réserve Rouge is sourced primarily from Le Grand Prébois near Orange for the Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre from higher-altitude vineyards in Vinsobres. Clay-limestone soils with rounded stones provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine's ripe fruit, freshness and structure. The outstanding 2019 vintage delivered healthy grapes with excellent concentration and balance.

Deep ruby with purple highlights, the 2019 opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant, accented by cracked black pepper, garrigue herbs and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering juicy dark fruit, silky tannins and fresh acidity. Hints of liquorice and savoury herbs emerge on the persistent finish, making it a classic Southern Rhône blend that combines approachability with excellent structure.
