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

Produced on 13 hectares of clay-limestone and sandy-loam vineyards, this cuvée expresses both the generosity of the South and the elegant signature of the winemaker. First, a deep and indulgent nose delivers notes of jammy red berries, while on the palate, a beautiful silky texture unfolds with generosity and great freshness. A wine full of finesse!

About the estate:

Ventoux is welcoming a new chapter in the professional lives of Laurence and Patrick Chêne. This passion project, which dates back some twenty years, is based in an 18th-century farmhouse at the foot of this famous mountain in 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 too quickly abandoned. Century-old vines, a winery that respects tradition without forgetting innovation, and the expert eye of Jérôme Bressy: the answer is in the glass, relevant and clear-sighted for four vintages. In addition to the usual varieties, a little Cinsault and the fine Counoise complete a successful blend, aged in cement and wood.
