2015  

Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault.

The Ventoux vineyards cover a vast spread of 15,800 acres south east of the southern Côtes du Rhône appellations, from the foot of the Mont Ventoux in the Vaucluse department to the edge of the Lubéron in the Alpes de Haute-Provence.

The impressive Ventoux Mountain that dominates the region also regulates the climate, and the temperatures are somewhat cooler than on the plains of the southern Rhône. 

Colour: ruby red with a high intensity.
Nose: notes of red-berry fruits.
Palate: a fruity wine with a good structure. The Grenache grape gives elegance and finesse.

Serve with roasted quails, Provençale tomatoes, grilled ribs, chilli con carne, chicken Marengo or cheeses like Saint Nectaire and Morbier.

Serve ideally between 12 and 14°C.

This wine can be drunk now, or kept in a cellar for two years.

Mechanical harvest and traditionnal wine making with ageing in casks.

Here is a vintage we will remember for a long time, with a solid reputation that has already travelled throughout the world.  In all my winemaker's memory, we have not seen such a vintage in a very long time!

The seasons came and went while leaving their mark on the vine: a rather cold late winter caused the vine to suffer more than usual, forcing it to draw its strength from the very depths of the soil in order to allow the buds to bloom.

A mild and dry spring allowed the vines to develop peacefully and a very warm summer filled their fruit with sunshine.

In the year 2015, the seasons have produced the perfect grapes, of an irreproachable sanitary condition and an optimal maturity. A winning combination for this exceptional vintage. The wines all present a balance with incredible aromatic fullness and amazing concentration. A
