La Vieille Ferme Rosé 2025
Lu dans la presse
Even before they made boxed wine, they made my favorite cheap and cheerful, excellent porch pounder wines in glass bottles. With more than a century of experience, the Famille Perrin has certainly perfected their process, whether it be their white, rosé, or red. The blends allow them to keep the wine consistent and value-driven.

The 2025 vintage is shaping up to be a very good year. The hot, sunny summer encouraged excellent concentration in the grapes, while the cool nights preserved aromatic freshness and good acidity levels, essential for balanced wines. Despite the heat and some rain at the end of the harvest, the grapes remained remarkably healthy, with particularly concentrated fruit and controlled yields. Initial tastings reveal expressive wines with powerful aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackcurrants and blackberries, notes of rosemary, thyme, and lavender, characteristic of the garrigue. Their generous structure, driven by vibrancy, and balanced by a lovely freshness, suggests an excellent vintage.
Ageing
The harvest takes place between the last days of August and mid-September, when the grapes have reached optimal maturity. This is defined by analysis and berry tastings. Harvest takes place early in the morning to preserve the freshness of the fruit and avoid oxidisation of the aromas. As soon as the grapes arrive at the winery, they are pneumatically pressed which allows to extract the musts. Fermentation starts after settling and lasts about 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wines are kept in stainless steel vats and slightly fined before bottling.
Serving
10-12°C on hors-d'oeuvres, cold buffets, tomato salads, grilled meat, ... and other summer lunches.
Tasting
A pretty petal-pink colour with silvery highlights. Fresh and delicate, the nose opens with a floral bouquet dominated by roses, before revealing luscious notes of crushed strawberries. The lively palate is all about indulgence with aromas of vine peaches and pear drops, well-balanced by a refreshingly saline finish.
