About the estate:
Mont Ventoux marks a new chapter in the professional lives of Laurence and Patrick Chêne. This labor of love, which began some twenty years ago, is based in an 18th-century farmhouse at the foot of this famous mountain in the Vaucluse. With deep-rooted convictions and unwavering faith, this couple—passionate about rural life and Provence—has brought together the region’s native grape varieties, which had been all too quickly neglected. Century-old vines, a winery that honors tradition while embracing innovation—all under the expert guidance of Jérome Bressy: the result is evident in the glass, a wine that has been both distinctive and insightful for the past four vintages. In addition to the usual varieties, a touch of Cinsault and the delicate Counoise round out a successful blend, aged in cement and wood.
