“A special vintage by Patrick Chêne—don’t miss it!”

This cuvée, produced from 13 hectares of clay-limestone and sandy-loam vineyards, expresses both the richness of the South and the winemaker’s elegant signature. First, a deep, luscious nose reveals notes of jammy red berries, while on the palate, a beautifully silky texture unfolds with richness and great freshness. A wine of pure finesse!

Rated 2 stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more conventional and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The Ventoux region 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-seated 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 without neglecting innovation, guided by the discerning eye of Jérome Bressy: the result is evident in the glass—relevant and visionary across 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.
