The Society's Côtes-du-Rhône Blanc 2022
White Wine from France - Rhone
For our second vintage of this Rhône white, we revisited the blend to add a bit more weight and flavour, now of herbs and citrus with a touch of tropical fruit. Grenache blanc and clairette still dominate, the added ingredient being viognier. The label depicts the magnificent Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct that stands proud, and almost entirely intact, in the region.

Famille Perrin
The Perrin family is behind a bewildering number of enterprises. First there is Château de Beaucastel, the phenomenally successful Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate. La Vieille Ferme is a négociant division supplying significant volumes of well-priced wines from the Luberon and Ventoux. Grand Prébois is both a bottling hall in Courthezon and a brand of own-vineyard Côtes-du-Rhône and Vin de Pays. There is also an operation in California, providing Rhône vine stocks to Californian growers, and making wine under the Tablas Creek label. Then there is Perrin Père et Fils which groups together the other Perrin-owned vineyard and grape contracts. The Perrins are very important growers in Vinsobres, a recently promoted cru much loved by Society members, and also own vineyards in Gigondas, Vacqueras and Cairanne.
It sounds like quite an empire, but retaining the personal touch across all interests and generations is the secret of the success of this exceptional family. Their wines are easily some of the most consistent and quality-conscious in the Rhône valley, because they are made with the same standards, philosophy, and respect for the environment that have made their flagship, Beaucastel such an iconic name.
