Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of the superstars of the appellation, the 2012 Gigondas l'Argnee Vieilles Vignes is blockbuster material. Still in barrel and showing even better than last year, it boasts off-the-hook notes of kirsch, blackberry, dried soil and flowers to go with awesome depth and richness on the palate. Coming from sandy soils and pre-phylloxera Grenache vines, it has thrilling purity, ultra-fine tannin, a big mid-palate and terrific length. It’s a prodigious Gigondas that will have two decades of longevity.

Famille Perrin’s involvement in the wine trade can be traced back to 1909 with the purchase of Château de Beaucastel. Today the 5th generation of the family is involved in every aspect of the business. Famille Perrin’s range of wines enable you to discover the richness and diversity of the Southern Rhône Valley. It is no coincidence that Famille Perrin is the leading organic wine grower of the Southern Rhône Valley, where they occupy the region’s best terroirs. Their values have given them a worldwide reputation for excellence: absolute respect for the soil, a commitment to manual methods, and a deep belief that organic viticulture is the only way to express the true essence of the terroir. Nature and tradition are key to the Famille Perrin approach, which has continued seamlessly over five generations.
