GIGONDAS "LA GILLE" PERRIN ET FILS 2007
The Perrin Brothers of Château Beaucastel also make wine from other appellations in the southern Rhône, most notably this one from Gigondas. A wine rich in Grenache, it offers earthy red fruit, firm tannins and a lovely southern warmth that make it delicious for drinking with all types of red meats and hearty stews. From the fabulous 2007 vintage.
VINEYARD
10.5 hectares (26 acres) are leased by the Perrins and managed by the Beaucastel team. The vineyards lie 15 kms to the West of the town of Orange, between the Dentelles de Montmirail and the river Ouvèze, a tributary of the Rhône. There is also a 0.5 hectare of a pre-phyloxeric vine that is harvested separately.
The vineyard has very light soils of rolled pebbles mixed with old alluviums over sandy molasse.
GRAPE VARIETIES
80% Grenache, 20% Syrah
VINIFICATION
The grapes are not de-stemmed before being fermeted and then undergoing maceration for 13 days, with pumping-over rather than cap-punching.
The wine is then matured for 12 months with 70% in casks and 30% in one-year-old barrels.
TASTING NOTE
The colour is a deep ruby with a velvety robe. The nose is reminiscent of red fruit jams, with a mineral and earthy touch. This is a generous and powerful wine that is robust and distinguished, with its firm tannins well integrated.
