DOMAINE ROGER PERRIN RHONE, FRANCE
Domaine Roger Perrin, is a 100 acre family estate in the very heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape where vineyard knowledge has been handed down over generations. The Domaine really came into its own when the late Roger Perrin took over from his father-in-law in 1968. He created a new wine cellar in 1972 and began bottling and selling his wines himself. In 1986 he was succeeded by his wife Yvette and his son, wine-maker Luc Perrin, who continued to make dramatic improvements. A passionate winegrower, Luc contributed greatly to the international development of the Domaine. Tragically Luc died at an early age in 2010. His sister Véronique Perrin-Rolin, an enthusiastic oenologist, arrived on the estate for the 2010 harvest. Véronique’s son Xavier Rolin began working on the Domaine in 2012. Véronique and Xavier perpetuate the work of Luc and Roger by combining observation, respect for nature and knowledge. The Domaine offers a wide range of wines with great finesse and a beautiful expression, in the tradition of Châteauneuf du Pape and for the pleasure of everyone!
