The soil is made of old gravel terraces resting on sandy marl and Pliocene clay. Rasteau is best known for its fortified sweet wine, but the appellation has also covered dry reds since 2010, and that is the category this cuvée belongs to.\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 Rasteau\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 L'Andéol\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 Old gravel terraces on sandy marl and Pliocene clay, slopes facing south\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Part of the grapes vinified as whole bunches, the rest destemmed, temperatures controlled throughout, extraction by punch-down or pump-over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 % in stainless steel tanks and 10 % in foudres, then one year of ageing before bottling\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 Purple red, velvety and elegant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enticing aromas of cocoa and fresh strawberry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerful and well balanced, notes of red fruit and black olive, delicately chalky tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it at 18 °C, in an INAO glass or a burgundy glass.
