"Exclusive Vintage"
“In the Juliette cuvée, the wine reveals itself unreservedly with a lovely savory character: the Ventoux climate lends it freshness, and the blend of Clairette (70%) and white Grenache (30%) enhances the wine’s mineral intensity.” (The RVF Guide 2023) In honor of the birth of the family’s first granddaughter in two generations… A cuvée well worth trying!

About the estate:
This family-run estate, now in its third generation, produces a wide range of full-bodied wines on some 70 hectares, in a modern and ambitious style that ranks them among the must-try wines of the Ventoux region. Currently managed by Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière, the vineyard features nine grape varieties grown on clay-limestone gravel slopes at an elevation of 300 meters. The wines are crafted with care.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
The history of this estate began in the 1970s, when the Chaudière grandparents restored the château and part of the vineyard. Paul and Edith then set the course by leaving the cooperative and focusing on terroir selection. Since 2000, their sons, Frédéric and Alexandre, have been steering the future of this vast vineyard. We are captivated by the stylistic shift in the wines: they have truly gained in finesse and flavor, and beautifully reflect the freshness of the terroir.
