Introduction

Decided to try their house pours from La Vieille Ferme owned by Perrin & Fils of Chateau Beaucastel fame. Coincidentally, I had a chance encounter to share a glass of bourgogne with Pierre Perrin (the next generation owner winemaker) just a month ago at Denise wine shop @ Vivo. He walked in with a well-groomed local wine distributor and since I was tasting some bourgognes ...and being all eager to impress a walk-in ang moh customer with my wine knowledge...I , of course, offered him and his associate some of the village bourgogne I was tasting. What a pleasant shock when I realised that this ang moh was no ordinary ang moh...and it was only after I tried selling him the good characteristics of the bourgogne we were tasting that we exchanged business cards.

Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2006 La Vieille Ferme (Perrin & Fils) Luberon Blanc 75 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Luberon

    Consists of rarer grape varietals of grenache blanc, bourboulenc, roussanne and ugni blanc. Somewhat weak nose of pineapples. Fared better on the palate with fresh acidity and lemon liquer. Medium length with a bitter lemon pith finish.

  • 2005 La Vieille Ferme (Perrin & Fils) Cotes de Ventoux 78 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Ventoux

    A grenache syrah blend. This has sweet violets on the nose. Pleasant, standard, no-suprises rhone blend. This has a rounded palate and does suprisingly do better with the green curry cod rather than the shepard's pie.

  • 2003 Oremus Late Harvest Késöi Szüret Tokaji Cuvée 89 Points

    Hungary, Tokaji

    Golden "urine" (sounds yucks but my mum concurs that it does have that hue) yellow with a tinge of orange. Beautiful orange marmalade that evolves into sweet pineapples, chrysanthemum . Solid citrus lining that gives this sticky the ability to not stick to the throat but gives it a gulpable texture. Medium length causes this wine not to rate above 90. The evolution of this wine in the glass is amazing...just look at the slightly darker orange hue (from 5 mins in the glass) as compared to a more golden hue (from freshly poured glass).
