Vinification of the Cornas from Famille Perrin

The Cornas from Famille Perrin comes from the renowned Rhône growing region in the south of France, more precisely from the subregion of Cornas. There, the Syrah grapes thrive on stony granite soils that are optimal for slow and deep ripening of the grapes. The climate mix of warm days and cool nights supports the development of intense aromas and ensures a balanced acid structure.

The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand in order to pick the ripe grapes in the best possible condition. After careful sorting, the grapes are destemmed and cold macerated to extract color and typical aromas at an early stage. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Gentle extraction is ensured to preserve the elegant tannin structure.

After fermentation, the Cornas from Famille Perrin matures for several months in traditional oak barrels, which give the wine additional volume and subtle roasted aromas. The combination of modern cellar technology and traditional maturation creates a red wine of great depth and balance that authentically reflects the terroir of Cornas. The wine is bottled without filtration in order to preserve its natural texture and intensity.
