Famille Perrin : L'Argnée - Vieilles Vignes 2014

Wine Advocate-Parker :
What will compete with the top wines in the vintage, Perrin's 2014 Gigondas l'Argnee Vieilles Vignes comes mostly from sandy soils and pre-phylloxera vines; the only downside is that's there's a scant 100 cases made. Offering thrilling notes of ground pepper, crushed flowers, violets and spice, with a core of kirsch and raspberry fruit, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced and has building, yet ultra-fine tannin that emerge on the finish. It's a vintage-defying effort that might be difficult to find, but will be well worth the effort!
