Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
The Côtes du Rhône Villages bottling of La Vieille Ferme, the Perrin family's négociant label, a step up from the brand's everyday Ventoux red. Grenache leads, with Syrah and Mourvèdre, giving ripe red cherry and raspberry fruit, black pepper and a garrigue-herb edge. Medium-bodied with fine, soft tannins. A generous, good-value Southern Rhône red for the table, best drunk in its first few years.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
