"A beautiful personality

Aged mainly in demi-muids and foudres for almost twenty-three months, La Dame Brune embodies the traditional elegance of the estate's wines. This cuvée boasts excellent concentration and a tannic structure that's not too heavy, suggesting a promising evolution towards spicier, more exotic notes. A selection of the estate's finest plots.

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (guide 2020) 16/20 ( Vintage 2016) (Very good wine)

Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

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.
