Producer Information

Maison Nicolas Perrin Hermitage History, Overview Maison Nicolas Perrin is a collaboration between Nicolas Jaboulet and the Perrin Family. If the Perrin name sounds familiar, it should, as they own the most famous estate in Chateauneuf du Pape, Beaucastel. The idea for the wildly successful venture is due to Marc Perrin and Nicolas Jaboulet, which is where the name comes from. The idea came together after the Jaboulet family sold their vast holdings in 2006 to the Frey family, who also own La Lagune in Bordeaux. The company headquarters is situated in Tournon, and as you might expect, provides a dramatic view of the Hill of Hermitage. The joint venture started out life with the plan to produce and sell their wine under the name of Jaboulet, Perrin Freres. That name was shelved once they discovered it was a problem to use the name Jaboulet on the label. The enterprising duo easily changed the name of their winery to Maison Nicolas Perrin. It’s too early to say all the rest of history. But with the pedigree involved here, it’s quite likely, they will be making history in the near future. The first releases from Maison Nicolas Perrin began with the 2007 vintage. They are focused on producing wines from the Northern Rhone Valley as they are making red and white wine from Cote Rotie, Hermitage, St. Joseph, Crozes Hermitage, Cornas, Condrieu and St. Peray. Nicolas Perrin is also producing lesser priced wines from a blend of Syrah and Viognier.
