Jean Pierre Perrin established La Vieille Ferme over 35 years ago, when he chose to produce an inexpensive, straightfor?ward Rh?ne wine to sell by direct mail to French wine lov?ers. He used the same grape varieties in similar proportions to those planted at the family?s Ch?teau de Beaucastel, in a similar vinification process. The result was an immediate success in France, a wine of character and style in keeping with its Beaucastel heritage.
