Produced by the Famille Perrin, this is a smoky, full-bodied red wine from the Vacqueyras, Rhône wine region, ripe with raspberry, blueberry, sweet baking and pepper spice flavours juicy and concentrated on the palate. Tannins are pleasantly grippy. Good now, better in 2022.

Food pairings: pepper steak, roast beef, sausage cassoulet.

Reviews and Ratings

Les Christins 2017 is a full-bodied, spicy Grenache and Syrah red wine blend from the Vacqueyras in the Rhone wine region. Smooth and satisfying with ripe plum, blueberry and red berry, anise and pepper spice flavours finishing long on the palate with gentle tannins. Rich and yummy and not to be missed. Good now, better in 2022. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
