Gigondas La Gille Perrin & Fils Rhône France 2018

The 2018 vintage is characterised by exceptional weather conditions. Flowering took place in the best possible conditions, with a historically abundant grape output. A few rainy episodes at the end of the spring complicated things a little with an attack of mildew, but the good weather then settled down until harvest, which took place under idyllic conditions.The wines are beautiful.

 

“Most of the Perrin Family holdings in Gigondas are sandy sites, with cooler, northwestern expositions. The 2018 Gigondas La Gille is full-bodied and concentrated, yet it’s airy in feel, light on its feet and silky in texture. The cherries and raspberries show an impressive degree of elegance.
