Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône Rosé 2023

With fruit coming from the Grand Prébois vineyards (home of the first estate of the Perrin patriarch dating back to 1909), the grapes are grown on the hills with gravel, clay and limestone. This is a classic southern French rosé. Pretty aromas of peaches and cream and a touch of spice. Another level up on concentration, intensity and gravitas. A gently phenolic structure with round, ripe fruit, crunchy redcurrants, fresh strawberries, creamy lees richness and the weightiness and intensity of a reserve-level wine. Drinking window: 2024-2028. Score – 89. (Elizabeth Gabay, MW, decanter.com, March 10, 2024)
