2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"[...] His Rose Perrière 2013 earns a Favorite that echoes the one obtained for the 2011. Hand-harvested Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc were matured in 500-l barrels. The result is a superb Lussac, with a deep, dark color and an exuberant nose of black fruits and morello cherries, enhanced by empyreumatic, vanilla and spicy notes. Very powerful on the palate, framed by dense, silky tannins, underlined by a pleasant freshness that enhances the long finish. A wine that's already very well developed, and that won't disdain a stay in the cellar". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017) - Delivery in wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine.

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated wine (guide 2017) 2*Coup de Coeur (Outstanding wine)
Rated domain (2017 guide) Awarded wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
Jean-Luc Sylvain, "Grand crack de la barricaille", is no less a skilled winemaker. The continued presence of La Perrière in the pages of the Guide is testament to this. His Rose Perrière 2013 was awarded a Favorite , echoing that of the 2011. Hand-harvested Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc were matured in 500-l barrels. The result is a superb Lussac, with a deep, dark color and an exuberant nose of black fruits and morello cherries, enhanced by empyreumatic, vanilla and spicy notes. Very powerful on the palate, framed by dense, silky tannins, underlined by a pleasant freshness that enhances the long finish. A wine that's already very well developed, and that won't disdain a stay in the cellar.
About the domain :
Jean-Luc Sylvain, a renowned cooper from the Libourne region, applies his talent not only to the container, but also to the content, through two estates: Ch. la Perrière in Lussac, a 14-hectare cru of monastic origin acquired in 2003, and Clos les Grandes Versannes, a Saint-Émilion grand cru acquired in 2004, a small vineyard (1 ha) planted on the sands and gravels of Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens, in his family for three generations.
