The vintage
The 2014 vintage reflects a surprising year for the region. It is characterized by a mild, wet winter, hot, dry spring followed by a temperate and humid summer. This can only be classifed as an atypical year, a year for the winemaker. Work and supervision in the vineyards was mandatory until through to harvest. The slow ripening of the grapes and long macceration of the skins during vinification have resulted in aromatic wines, only to be describded as fresh and fine. The white wines are pretty, fruity and expressive with great minerality.
Location
Situated on the slopes of Mont Ventoux, the vineyard benefits from a cooler climate than down in the plain. The grapes mature slowly and maintain a good acidity. The wine is rich, fresh, balanced.
Terroir
Sediment left by the seas of the Tertiary period at the base of the chalky Mont Ventoux. Red Mediterranean soils originating from cretaceous hard chalk, calcareous debris and round stones from old alluvium.

Reviews
"A pretty, refreshing and dry rosé with notes of field strawberry and raspberry. Perfect as an aperitif, chilled, or companion to seafood. For five generations, the Family Perrin has been making the wines of La Vieille Ferme between Avignon and Orange in southern France. They also make the coveted Rhone red wine Beaucastel. Excellent price for this rosé." [+]
"Un joli fruité. Cette cuvée est LA pépite de la Famille Perrin, du Château de Beaucastel. Un rosé désaltérant, au fruité marqué, qui s'accorde avec les charcuteries et les viandes blanches grillées."
