Ideal combination

Meat

Meat dishes pair well with full-bodied red wines — they enhance the flavour and soften the richness.

Match

Cheese

Cheeses pair well with wine: hard cheeses with reds, soft and blue cheeses with whites and fortified wines.

Match

Winemaking

Hand-harvested grapes are vinified separately: reductive varieties in oak casks and oxidative ones in traditional concrete vats. Following malolactic fermentation, the Perrin family creates the final blend, which ages for one year in oak foudres.
