"On his organic vineyard, Charles Perez has planted Grenache Noir on a small sandy plot. He has just made a singular gourmet rosé, in the spirit of a "blanc de noir". The Grenache gains in substance with ageing in new Austrian barrels, and the finish remains lively". (Terre de Vins - Sept. 2017)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
This estate, original in its marketing approach as much as in its wine style, produces cuvées with amusing labels that often linger in the memory. The Perez family travels, thinks and begins to find the way to better recognition of their products. The estate is a good source for powerful, colorful reds, which are sure to fuel debate with their often original and always highly mature profiles.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2020) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
South of Perpignan, Charles Perez has been running his own domaine since 2008 in the hamlet of Nyls, in the Aspres region: 25 hectares of organic vineyards planted on three hills within a 110-hectare estate. In reds, his blends emphasize Syrah. Each year, a different artist "sketches" this vineyard figure to illustrate his labels. The same goes for the members of his family. A sort of Catalan Mouton Rothschild!

Note and review by M. THIBAULT E. Published on 27/10/2019
A dull wine that seems passé. At over €20 a bottle, it's very disappointing.

Note and review by M. DIDIER P. Published on 09/08/2018
Strange nose, unclear impressions, both mineral and floral. Not captivating, and neither is the palate. The attack is very acidic, but behind it there's plenty of substance, difficult to characterize but really not very pleasant. The work is there, but not the result.
