2015 Famille Perrin

1 magnum bottle CH9DP 2015 Beaucastel.

Vintage Overview & Growing Season • Weather: Mild, wet winter followed by a hot, dry spring and summer. • Character: Balanced, fresh, and deeply structured despite the warm year.

Tasting Notes & Serving • Aromas & Palates: Carmine-red color with rich black cherry, blue plum, dark raspberry, licorice, white pepper, and smoky mineral notes. • Tannins: Powerful yet refined, leading to an extremely long, clean finish. • Service: Best served around 15°C (59°F) with a recommended decanting if opened now. • Aging Potential: Built to last, with peak drinking window extending gracefully through 2040+.
