La Vieille Ferme Rouge is a legendary testament to the Perrin family's belief that everyday wines deserve the same dedication as grand crus. Created in the 1970s by Jean-Pierre Perrin, this beloved cuv e was named after the historic family farmstead, capturing the rustic charm and simple pleasures of the French countryside. Sourced from the sun-drenched, limestone-rich slopes of the Ventoux and Luberon regions in the Southern Rh ne, the wine is crafted using traditional methods, including fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel and cement vats to preserve its vibrant fruit character. Over the decades, it has achieved global acclaim as the quintessential bistro wine, celebrated for its authentic expression of Rh ne terroir, dependable quality, and warm, welcoming personality.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in the southern Rhône Valley and closely tied to the legendary Château de Beaucastel since 1909, Famille Perrin is one of France's most respected winemaking dynasties. Under the visionary guidance of Jacques Perrin and subsequent generations, the family pioneered organic viticulture in 1950 and biodynamic farming in 1974. Based in Courthézon, they are celebrated for their masterful blending of all thirteen permitted Châteauneuf-du-Pape grape varieties, aging their wines in traditional large oak foudres to preserve purity and terroir. Their world-class portfolio ranges from the iconic, Mourvèdre-dominant Château de Beaucastel Hommage à Jacques Perrin to expressive regional selections like Les Sinards and La Gille.
