Famille Perrin - Côtes du Rhône - Réserve - Red - 2023

Wine:

Generous and beautifully ripe, the 2023 Côtes-du-Rhône Réserve Red captures the essence of a vintage shaped by a warm, radiant summer.
Black fruit aromas—led by blackberry—blend with subtle floral notes of violet. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and supple, supported by refined tannins and a bright streak of freshness. A complete, well-balanced wine that's already drinking beautifully, and will gain even more complexity over the next two to three years. A perfect match for grilled red meats or a classic Provençal daube.
