Product details
Famille Perrin, a distinguished name in the Rhône Valley, presents the 2021 Gigondas La Gille, a wine that exemplifies their dedication to tradition and terroir. Sourced from mid-slope vineyards beneath the village of Gigondas, the vines thrive in limestone and chalky marl soils rich in safres and sand. This unique composition imparts the Grenache grapes with exceptional elegance and aromatic finesse. The 2021 vintage, marked by freshness reminiscent of the 1980s and 1990s, demanded meticulous vineyard management due to climatic challenges, including an April frost and intermittent harvest rains. The unwavering commitment of Famille Perrin's team has resulted in a wine of remarkable balance and promise.
In the glass, the 2021 Gigondas La Gille displays a deep ruby hue. The nose is both powerful and complex, revealing notes of tobacco, cigar box, and leather. On the palate, it achieves perfect balance with soft, silky tannins, unveiling an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of the garrigue, featuring hints of rosemary, underbrush, and spices. This wine pairs exquisitely with dishes such as veal chops with morel mushrooms or crispy lamb breast. Serving at 16°C (60°F) enhances its nuanced flavors, making it a distinguished addition to any dining experience.
