Beautiful pale yellow colour. The nose is very attractive on notes of citrus and roasted hazelnuts. The mouth is balanced, crisp and fresh. Drink young as an aperitif with prawns.

90 POINTS - Wine Spectator

"Ripe but defined, with pear skin and blanched almond notes framing the core of melon, peach and apricot flavors. A nice unctuous edge marks the finish. Drink now through 2013. 300 cases imported." JM, October 2012

The wine is ruby red. The bouquet is like a bowl of red fruit. The mouth shows a rich, balanced and concentrated wine. This wine offers immediate pleasure. As soon as you open it the fruit is there. Serve this with grilled meats.

90 POINTS - Wine Spectator

"Solid, tarry grip runs through the blackberry, black currant and bramble notes, with good drive and focus on the finish, where bitter cherry and tobacco fill in. Drink now through 2015. 300 cases imported." JM, October 2012

"We want eventually a range that is representative of the very best of the northern Rhone" - Nicolas Jaboulet of Nicolas Perrin

About Nicolas Perrin

Marc Perrin and Nicolas Jaboulet

The story of Maison Nicolas Perrin is that of two families who come from the two opposite ends of the Rhone valley, North and South.

In the North, Nicolas Jaboulet, who grew up on the hillsides of Hermitage, and the Perrin family who has been in the southern Rhone, primarily in the prestigious appellation of Chateauneuf du pape, since the beginning of the 20th century.

This geographical reunion finds its meaning in the phrase "Axis Mundi." These latin words stand for the 4 cardinal points and symbolize the Cotes de Rhone region divided between the Northern (Septentrional) and the Southern (Meridional) appellations and right and left banks of the Rhone river.

They produce small quantities of wines, between 3 to 12 000 bottles, selected from vines of key appellations across the Northern Rhone or sourcing them from the barrels of top vignerons as well as from family and friends they have known for years. The wines are then matured and aged in the cellars of the Perrin family in Orange before bottling.

The first vintage was 2006 Ermitage red and 2007 Côte-Rotie, Saint-Joseph reds as well as 2008 Hermitage Blanc. All these wines received great reviews from the best journalists.
