Wine of the week: La Vieille Ferme Blanc 2022

Once again, one of the world’s great cheap whites doesn’t disappoint – no matter what others think

The French La Vieille Ferme Blanc is annually one of the world’s great cheap white wines, and the 2022 version ($9, purchased, 13%) doesn’t disappoint – some lime, some stone fruit, and clean and fresh.

Nevertheless, someone gave it 69 points – which means it’s undrinkable — on CellarTracker, the blog’s unofficial wine inventory app.

Do I need to write any more? Or remind everyone why I’m so worried about the future of the wine business?
