Domaine André Perret

While the jocular but humble André Perret is deservedly well-known for his outstanding Condrieus, which I believe are among the very best iterations of the appellation, his work with red wines, all from vines in his home village of Chavanay, is also at an extremely high level. The latest releases are all worthy of consideration, but some searching will be required, as the small production is spread thinly around the world. The Les Grisières bottling, which is made with whole clusters, often rivals some top producers' Côte-Rôties for sheer complexity, energy and balance, even in hot vintages like 2017. (The 2018 and 2019 versions of that wine, which are still in barrel, are superb, by the way.) Speaking of Côte-Rôtie, in the 2018 vintage Perret has finally made one – four barrels of it, with fruit that he bought from a small, highly regarded, old-school domaine in Ampuis (he'd probably tell you who it is in person, but I don't feel free to disclose it) and mostly from the Côte-Blonde. Tasted from barrel, it's extremely impressive, showing noteworthy balance, focus and energy. Perret has been joined at the domaine by his daughter, Marie, who recently completed her university studies in Lyon. We tasted through this set of wines, along with the 2018s and 2019s that are still in barrel, together, and he was clearly thrilled to be working with her.
