WHAT IS "BLOUGE"? (RVF article, July 2025)
Halfway between a light red, a white wine, and a rosé, let yourself be seduced by the Tandem cuvée. A unique blend resulting from the co-fermentation of black Grenache and white Grenache, creating a sparkling and highly expressive wine. Its clear, light ruby color opens to a very expressive and open nose, with tart notes of strawberry and raspberry, a floral touch, and hints of spice. On the palate, it is dense and structured, full of finesse and balance with lovely acidity. A little fruit bomb, with a touch of grenadine and a hint of pepper. A juicy wine with subtle, elegant tannins, perfect for delightful aperitifs.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
The Ventoux Tandem 2023 is the result of an unconventional co-fermentation of Grenache Noir and a small proportion of Grenache Blanc, sourced from cooler vineyards on limestone soils. It opens with aromas of wild strawberries, redcurrants, crushed herbs, and subtle floral notes. Medium-bodied and taut, it centers on a vibrant core of red fruit, with fine, powdery tannins and lively acidity that lend the wine energy and elegance. Focused more on finesse than power, this is a precise, subtly original wine that will drink well upon release and for the next 5 to 10 years.

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 overseeing 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.
