LA VIEILLE FERME ROUGE

Rhone, France

Presentation

Pretty purple colour with shiny reflections. The nose reveals a seductive bouquet of red fruit and spices. Full of delicacy, the palate is full of freshness and well balanced, with aromas of cherries and very soft tannins, giving this wine great drinkability.

The Vintage

Despite climatic challenges throughout the year requiring constant vigilance and considerable work in the vineyard, the 2024 vintage looks very promising.

• The harvest began on August 2nd, and the last grapes were picked on October 3rd.
• Each vineyard was harvested at perfect maturity, with grapes that were both balanced and expressive.

The work in the vineyards was demanding, but the efforts made should result in wines of high quality. The first tastings reveal wines with:

• A very good balance, combining fruitiness, tension, and finesse.
• Optimal phenolic maturity, supported by good acidity.
• Great freshness and a beautiful structure.

Promising qualities for this 2024 vintage, which should stand out for its aromatic richness and aging capacity.

Ageing

Each grape variety is harvested and vinified separately to respect the maturity of each varietal.

• The harvest date is determined by analysis and tasting the berries.
• Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and crushed.
• Extraction is done during fermentation in cement tanks with pumping over.

Serving

Serve at 17°C with a spontaneous meal and for pure enjoyment.

Tasting
