For over 50 years, La Vieille Ferme has been a benchmark for high-quality, great-value wines from the south of France. Created by the Perrin family, renowned for their expertise in crafting exceptional Rhône Valley wines, La Vieille Ferme is a true reflection of French winemaking tradition, offering fresh, fruit-forward wines that are both approachable and delicious.

Vineyards: The Heart of Vin de France
La Vieille Ferme sources its grapes from carefully selected vineyards in the Vin de France designation, primarily in the sun-drenched regions of Languedoc and the Rhône Valley. The vines thrive in a mix of limestone, clay, and sandy soils, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights. This unique terroir allows the grapes to develop ripe, expressive flavours while retaining freshness and balance.

The vineyards are managed with sustainable farming practices, reflecting the Perrin family’s deep commitment to preserving the land for future generations. By working closely with growers and maintaining strict quality controls, La Vieille Ferme ensures consistency and excellence in every bottle.

Winemaking: A Balance of Tradition and Innovation
The winemaking philosophy at La Vieille Ferme is centered around minimal intervention, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to shine. Each variety is vinified separately to preserve its unique flavours before being carefully blended to create wines that are harmonious and expressive.

For the white and rosé wines, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to enhance freshness and aromatic intensity. The red wines are typically fermented in concrete and stainless steel, followed by a short period of aging to retain their bright fruit flavours and smooth tannins.

La Vieille Ferme wines are known for their easy-drinking style, offering vibrant fruit, fresh acidity, and a smooth, balanced finish; perfect for any occasion.
