So you want to by a 'big' bottle of wine but don't want to look cheap
or whatever you think of when you think
of wine in a big bottle. Well I have a
solution for you, and it is such a
good solution this post will be
short. It is La Vieille Ferme red blend.
The facts:
Where: The grapes are grown on a the slopes of mount Ventoux, France. Ventoux is part of the Rhone Valley.
Grape: Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah
Terroir (what the land is like): Red Mediterranean soil with chalk, and round stones in it.
Other: It comes with a screw top, which is perfect since it is not meant to age. I have only seen it in a magnum (1.5L). It is in Costco's is CA, and I have found it is a small wine store in MA. Therefore it should be pretty easy to find anywhere
Lastly you probably want to know what it taste like.
I was not going to describe thisfor two reasons.
One, I had it when I was helping my grandma move. I don't remember the details of the wine very well. Second is it taste like a classic Rhone wine. There are no other Rhone style magnum wine bottles (that I have seen). Therefore there is no choice to make between two bottles, meaning the flavor can not help make you make a decisions. All this being said, people do like to know what wine taste like before they buy it. I found a nice description of the wine by the wine makes.
I was not going to describe thisfor two reasons.

Tasting :
Appearance : deep cherry red.
Nose : ripe fruit, rich and spicy.
Palate : Red fruit (blackcurrant and blackberry), spice with a fesh finish.
Here are two reviews:
![]() | ![]() | 'This is a wine for those who want great quality and delicious drinking...' Robert M. Parker : The wine advocate |
![]() | ![]() | 'La Vieille Ferme is producing exhuberant and delicious wines.' James Suckling : The wine spectator |
But enough said. Moral of the story, if you want a big bottle of red wine La Vieille Ferme, red blend is way to go. Enjoy!
