The 2022 Famille Perrin Domaine du Clos des Tourelles Gigondas is a flagship Southern Rhône red from a historic walled vineyard, showcasing the depth, elegance and complexity of old-vine Grenache grown on limestone and sandy soils. Crafted predominantly from Grenache with supporting Syrah and Mourvèdre, it reflects a warm yet balanced vintage with excellent aromatic intensity. The nose is rich and expressive, offering red and black cherry, plum and blackberry layered with notes of violet, pepper, dried herbs and earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a supple, rounded texture and fine, velvety tannins. Concentrated dark and red fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and a mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish. The style is powerful yet refined, combining old-vine intensity with finesse and remarkable balance, making it a benchmark expression of Gigondas.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the standout wines in the Perrin portfolio—ideal for customers seeking a serious, terroir-driven Gigondas with both richness and elegance. The 2022 vintage shows excellent balance and structure, with strong aging potential. Drink from 2026 or over the next 10–20 years. Perfect with lamb, roast beef, game or slow-cooked Mediterranean dishes.
