The vines sit on slopes facing north-west, an orientation that preserves acidity and delays ripening, a valuable asset in Gigondas. Some old Grenache plots planted on sand still carry pre-phylloxera vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFamille Perrin\u003c\/strong\u003e is based at Château de Beaucastel, in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where the family has worked for several generations. A pioneer of organic and then biodynamic growing, it belongs to Primum Familiae Vini, the circle of the world's leading wine families. Over the years it has extended its work to the other appellations of the southern Rhône, each cuvée coming from identified plots that are vinified separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Rhône Valley, southern Rhône\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e AOC Gigondas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Famille Perrin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuvée:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Gille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grenache and Syrah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limestone and calcareous marl, high proportions of safres and sand, slopes facing north-west\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand harvest, grapes sorted, crushed and vatted on arrival at the cellar, long maceration to round the tannins, extraction by hand punch-downs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e One year in foudres and wooden tanks, after the malolactic fermentation and blending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear, ruby coloured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pepper, liquorice and violet, typical of Gigondas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A silky texture, very supple, delicate tannins, fine notes of small black fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at 16 °C.

Sand naturally protects the roots from the aphid, which is why a few sandy plots survived, with vines still on their own roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy slopes facing north-west?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the southern Rhône, sunshine is not the limiting factor. A north-west exposure slows ripening, keeps acidity and avoids excessive alcohol. That is what gives this cuvée its peppery, slender profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is the bottle shipped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping within France is free on orders over 300 EUR.
