François Perrin told me that while he thinks the 2014s from the region will be highly appealing to many people for their often "massive fruit and extroverted personality," the 2013s, at their best, "will be the ones for people who like structure and have the patience" to age them. This venerable estate's wines always contain a high percentage of grapes other than Grenache, so a year with a short crop of that variety "doesn't really throw us or the blend of the wine off," he told me. "We like to work with Mourvèdre, especially, so years like '13 that favor late-ripening grapes are just fine with us," he added.
