The negociant wines of La Vieille Ferme are made by Jean-Pierre Perrin, the co-proprietor of the renowned Chateau Beaucastel. They have consistently represented great values, so it is not surprising that their 1990s are extremely well-made wines. The 1990 Cotes du Rhone-Blanc-Gold Label is made from 100% Bourboulenc. Not surprisingly, it is a richer, fuller, fleshier wine, with a floral (roses?) and honey-scented nose, full-bodied flavors, good acidity, and excellent purity and freshness. This wines should be drunk over the next year. By the way, should you run across any of the 1989s from La Vieille Ferme, they, too, are still drinking well and merit consideration. I should also note that none of the 1991s merit a recommendation. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT.
