"The Ventoux Rouge 2023 is a fine success from Fondrèche, with its aromas of blackberry, plum, violet, garrigue and crushed stone. Medium to full-bodied, supple and complex, it is built around a core of vibrant fruit, framed by fine tannins and lively underlying acidity. A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged in a combination of concrete eggs and foudres, this is a precise, harmonious wine that combines southern warmth with freshness and relief. It will drink well straight out of the bottle, but will also improve after a few years in the cellar." (Wine Advocate 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This top-quality estate is masterfully run by the dynamic Sébastien Vincenti, who has established it as one of Ventoux's most serious and consistent producers. The 38-hectare vineyard is farmed organically, including a large 28-hectare parcel around the estate on stony clay-limestone soils. The estate produces mainly red wines, including the superb Cuvée Nature N, vinified without added sulfur and a model of its kind. An address not to be missed in the region.

About the domain :
Nanou Barthélemy and her son Sébastien Vincenti acquired the property in 1995, built and steadily improved the winery, and recomposed the 40-hectare vineyard, which is farmed organically and biodynamically (without certification), making Fondrèche one of the benchmarks of the Ventoux PDO.

About the wine:
A round blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. On the nose, it reveals aromas of black cherries, plums and baking spices, followed by a medium body with fine, firm tannins. Peppery and densely fruity. Made from organically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 91-93+/100
About the wine:
Ventoux Domaine 2023 is a classic blend of 60% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged in a mix of foudres and concrete eggs. It adds richness and depth, with a formidable core of peppery black fruits, peppery garrigue, smoke and crushed stone. Medium to full-bodied, well concentrated and textured, it should drink well now, but will also age gracefully.
