A southern Rhône blend of Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, it brings juicy black cherry and red berry fruit, lifted by violet, spice and a cool hint of peppermint. The palate is fresh and supple, with soft tannins and a savoury dark-chocolate note on the finish. First made in 1970, La Vieille Ferme remains a smart bottle to keep close for pizza night, grilled chicken or an impromptu tableful of friends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFamille Perrin sources the fruit from vineyards on the slopes of Mont Ventoux, where altitude helps the grapes retain freshness and acidity. The soils combine red Mediterranean earth, chalk debris and rounded stones. Each variety is harvested and vinified separately, then destemmed and crushed, with fermentation and pump-overs in cement tanks. The winery describes the 2024 as aromatic with morello and black cherries, spice, peppermint and violet, followed by soft tannins, freshness and a long finish touched by dark chocolate. Serve at around 17°C.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuisine Magazine, 4 Stars (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Well coloured for a carignan with a slight fade appearing at the rim.
