2022 Vinsobres, Les Hauts de Julien, Famille Perrin, Rhône

Description

The Vinsobres cru sits on pebbly marl, renowned for fruit freshness. Les Hauts de Julien is a vineyard of 90-year-old Syrah and Grenache vines at 300m altitude, co-planted and co-fermented to enhance the region’s unique characteristics. The bouquet evokes sweet, wild strawberries and dark chocolate with subtle lavender. The rich, velvety palate evokes blackberry, liquorice and vanilla. The warming, herbal finish has an intriguing tomato leaf note.

Critics reviews

Alistair Cooper MW 16.5/20

Cask sample. Meaty and smoked game on the nose. Wild and ripe – very firm and elegant. The tannins are clay-like and the oak comes through on the finish here. Very wild and rustic – earthy and deep. Needs time!

Drink 2027 - 2034

Dark, inky colour. The oak is quite dominating aromatically at this early stage, but it has great concentration and immensely smooth tannins. Dark chocolate, black olive, blackberry. Very impressive, the oak will integrate eventually. Clay-like tannins on the finish. Makes a big impact, a big impression. But wait until it's ready, around 2030. From a 4ha parcel, making 6,000 bottles; 50% is pre-phylloxera. 100% aged in demi-muids, 50% new, 50% one-year-old, for 24 months.

Drink 2030 - 2042

About this wine

Vinsobres

Vinsobres

Vinsobres, along with Beaumes de Venise, has cause for celebration, having been promoted to a stand-alone appellation in 2006 but now overtaking Cairanne, Rasteau and 12 or so other Côtes du Rhônes villages in the local hierarchy. This is primarily due to the relative altitude of the vines being recognised for lending complexity and structure to the wines.
