La Famille Perrin Réserve Côtes du Rhône

From the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel, the Réserve is their benchmark Côtes du Rhône — Grenache led, with Syrah and Mourvèdre filling in the frame.

Ripe red cherry and plum, a lift of garrigue herbs and black pepper, soft tannins and a clean finish. Unfussy, dependable and built for a weeknight table: roast chicken, charcuterie, tomato-based pasta.
