"Les Hauts de Julien 2014 is easily the most impressive wine from the Perrin family. A blend of co-fermented Syrah and Grenache that comes from high-altitude plots, it presents sublime notes of black and blue fruits, violets, crushed pepper and wet pebbles. Medium- to full-bodied, elegant, straightforward and silky, this is a high-class Rhône Méridional wine with a foot in the Rhône Septentrional." (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)

Domain rated 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Over the past 15 years, the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel has expanded by acquiring appellations in the Southern Rhône Valley. A successful ambition, both in Luberon with Vieille Ferme and on the other terroirs presented. A perfect mastery of fermentation and appropriate ageing are key factors in this success.
