" A great bottle to keep for this exceptional vintage. The intensity of the fruit combined with the spicy finish makes this a great all-round wine." (Le Guide des Vins Bettane & Desseauve 2019) The southern framework present notably on the nose with these notes of black fruits and garrigue is without heaviness. Surprisingly powerful yet elegant, this wine is velvety and well-balanced on the palate, with a fresh, mentholated finish. A superb discovery for this off-the-beaten-track Ventoux, brilliantly crafted by Patrick Chêne.

About the domain :
The Ventoux is home to a new chapter in the professional life of Laurence and Patrick Chêne. This twenty-year-old project is based in an 18th-century farmhouse at the foot of the famous Ventoux mountain. With a strong sense of conviction and unwavering faith, this couple with a passion for country life and Provence have brought together the region's all-too-frequently neglected grape varieties. Hundred-year-old vines, a cellar that respects traditions without forgetting innovations, with the discerning eye of a certain Jérome Bressy: the answer is in the glass, relevant and clear-sighted for four vintages. In addition to the usual varieties, a little cinsault and fine counoise complete a successful blend, matured in cement and wood.
