The 2020 Famille Perrin Domaine du Clos des Tourelles Gigondas is a flagship Southern Rhône red that showcases the depth and character of this historic walled vineyard just below the village of Gigondas. Crafted predominantly from old-vine Grenache with some Syrah, it reflects limestone and sandy soils, vinified with whole-bunch fermentation for added complexity. The nose is intense and layered, offering ripe red cherry, wild strawberry and blueberry, intertwined with notes of licorice, garrigue, pepper and subtle floral lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a concentrated yet refined texture and fine, structured tannins. Rich red and dark fruit flavours are balanced by freshness and mineral depth, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish. The style is powerful yet polished, combining Gigondas’ natural intensity with finesse and clarity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout wines from the Perrin portfolio—ideal for customers seeking a more serious, terroir-driven Gigondas with both richness and elegance. It offers impressive complexity now but will reward aging. Drink from 2025 or over the next 10–15+ years. Perfect with lamb, roast beef, game or hearty Mediterranean dishes.
