Presentation
La Vieille Ferme Rosé has everything you would expect from a good rosé wine. Fruit, freshness and a beautiful colour. Ideal as an aperitif or with a meal amongst friends…
The vintage
2015 was a magnificent year in the south as well, characterized by excellent sanitary conditions thanks to the mild, wet winter, followed by a relatively hot, dry spring. The vines coped well with the extreme heat and lack of rain in the summer thanks to good hydric reserves. Following satisfactory flowering, rapid and regular ripening was assisted by rain that fell in August, producing berries rich in phenolic compounds and anthocyanins. As in the north, harvesting took place under excellent conditions.
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.
Ageing
Bleeding in stainless steel tanks
Varietals
Cinsault
Grenache
Syrah

Advice

Serving
10-12°C in tulip shaped glasses.
Tasting
Pretty pink ruby color with glimmering highlights. The nose is fresh with exotic and tasty notes like berries (wild strawberry, blackberry). Rich and opulent on the palate, this wine offers a nice balance and a fruity and tangy finish with a beautiful length.

Reviews

"I recommend trying this beautiful pale, pink rosé as a winter pick-me- up. The label is casual but elegant with a stately rooster that makes it a fun wine to bring in the Chinese New Year. Try with mushroom-stuffed dumplings."
