Rhone Blend  |  France

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Jeb Dunnuck 90-92, massively delicious, rich “baby Chateauneuf” -- a no-brainer for all-the-time consumption from the brilliant winemaker that is Stéphane Vedeau! Look -- call this a “cellar defender”, call it your new house red (it is currently mine…!), but don’t call it wimpy, that’s for sure. Rich, dark, spicy, and packed with bold blue fruit and complex Chateauneuf-du-Pape-like aromatics, this is an outrageously over-delivering new wine from Ferme du Mont. We scored 22 cases and HIGHLY suggest you pounce on this one.

About the Producer

La Ferme du Mont was founded quite recently by Stephane Vedeau. At first, they began operation in Courthezon, before shifting their headquarters to Valres in 2010. The change coincided with the purchase of Clos Petit Bellane from Olivier Peuchot.

The initial vintages, 2005 and 2006 were produced in a partnership with Coralie Gourmarre of Domaine Galevan. From that point forward, Stephane Vedeau began producing the wines of La Ferme du Mont on his own. La Ferme du Mont is a negociant company that owns some vines in the region. They also rent vineyards and purchases grapes from growers in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation as well. La Ferme du Mont produces, bottles and sells red and white wine from other Southern Rhone appellations including the Cotes du Rhone and Cotes du Rhone Villages, Gigondas and Vacqueyras.
