Vignerons du Mont Ventoux

3.1/5See all 38 reviews

The Winemakers of Mont Ventoux, located at the foot of Mount Ventoux in Bedoin benefit from an exceptional natural site with a wide variety of terroirs. The vineyards extend across the foothills of the Ventoux across five municipalities (Bedoin, Saint Pierre de Vassol, Flassan, Crillon-le-Brave, Modène), and in an area located within the UNESCO-protected "biosphere reserve." In total, the cellar of Winemakers of Mont Ventoux, a cooperative founded in 1924, now has more than 110 members who collectively farm a total area of 1,000 hectares.

The winegrowers of Mont Ventoux cultivate their vines in a very hot, dry, and windy climate (with an almost constant mistral wind). The region is unique in that its landscape of plains and valleys contrasts with the "giant of Provence," Mont Ventoux, which rises to 1,912 meters and contributes to the formation of microclimates. This diversity of climates brings out different nuances in the wines.

The Vignerons du Mont Ventoux offer a wide range of wines with the IGP Méditerranée and Ventoux appellations. In this southern part of theRhône Valley,Grenache is the king of grape varieties. Red wines are most often blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Carignan. White wines are made from Clairette, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne grapes, but Viognier and Ugni Blanc are also used.
