La Vieille Ferme Rouge 2022

Pretty deep red with purple undertones. Authentic, sincere and easy-going, this 2017 vintage is a true wine of pleasure. Opulent on the nose, it develops notes of red and black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant) and spices. On the palate, it is fruity and velvety. Balanced, crunchy, with silky tannins, and finishes with a beautiful aromatic persistence.

Jean Pierre Perrin established La Vieille Ferme over 35 years ago, when he chose to produce an inexpensive, straightforward Rhône wine to sell by direct mail to French wine lovers. He used the same grape varieties in similar proportions to those planted at the family's Château de Beaucastel, in a similar vinification process. The result was an immediate success in France, a wine of character and style in keeping with its Beaucastel heritage.
