"A special cuvee by Patrick Chêne, not to be missed!

This vintage, produced on 13 hectares of clay-limestone and sandy-loam vines, expresses both the generosity of the South and the elegant signature of the winemaker. Initially, a deep and delicious nose delivers notes of jammy red berries, while on the palate, a beautiful silky texture unfolds with generosity and great freshness. A wine of finesse!

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.
