Product Notes

André Perret Saint-Joseph wine is an exquisite blend, showcasing splendid grape quality combined with a unique mastery of winemaking. The wine's deep, garnet hue mesmerises the eye, while its rich bouquet of ripe red fruits, spices, and subtle hints of oak captivate the senses. Its palate surprises with a remarkable balance between potency and elegance, delivering flavours of blackberries, savoury spices, and a striking minerality. The silky tannins and striking linger contribute to its rounded, gentle finish. A captivating expression of French terroir, this wine encapsulates the finesse and depth of the Saint-Joseph appellation. It pairs exquisitely with a variety of dishes, especially red meats.

Tasting Notes

Powerful dark and velvety with a sapid finish. Big cassis and bramble flavours laced with spice. One of the most highly-charged, full bodied St Josephs Perret has made. Yes despite the brawn it retains clarity of flavour and an ample curvaceousness

About the Winery

André Perret

Nestled in the heart of France's Northern Rhône region, André Perret winery is a treasure trove of exceptional wines. Tucked away in the quaint village of Chavannay, about an hour's drive south of Lyon, this family-run vineyard is a must-visit for any oenophile seeking traditional wines with rich and expressive flavours.

The winery's story began with André Perret who inherited a small parcel of land in the 1980s. An accomplished botanist, he brought a scientific touch to his viticulture that differed greatly from the intuitive methods commonly practiced by local winemakers. André's expertise in understanding the soil's dynamics coupled with his penchant for traditional techniques elevated the quality of the wine, helping his relatively small winery to compete with the larger vineyards in the area.

Today, André Perret is known for their Condrieu and Saint-Joseph wines, produced primarily from Viognier and Syrah respectively. The Condrieu is celebrated for its seductive, floral aroma and opulent palate, while the Saint Joseph showcases the depth and complexity that can be achieved with Rhône's iconic Syrah grape.

André's commitment to low-yield, high-quality viticulture is apparent in every bottle. The wines are fermented in steel vats before being transferred to oak barrels for aging. This process allows each wine to express the unique terroir of their vineyards and imbued with a character that is unmistakably "Perret".

For the serious enthusiasts, the winery offers tastings by appointment. What could be better than sipping on sumptuous vino as you overlook the beautiful rolling vineyards, under the grandeur of French skies?

André Perret winery, with it's time-honoured methods, exceptional wines and idyllic setting, is everything you could want from a French vineyard, and perhaps, even a touch more.
