"Produced from a small plot of old vines, the 2016 Ventoux is a tremendous success. Aged in concrete vats, it has a rich, concentrated, and velvety texture, with ripe aromas of plum and stone fruit. The finish is long and tinged with garrigue. Excellent value for money, worth buying by the case. (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Review and opinion by Mr. GERARD D. Published on 12/04/2020
Very good value for money. Less powerful than a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, of course, but just as refined and elegant.

Review and opinion by Mr. OLIVIER L. Published on 05/21/2020
Not bad, but very disappointed by this wine, which I found rather flat. The nose is pleasant, but the palate fails to deliver on its promise.

Note and opinion by Mr. JEAN NOEL G. Published on May 5, 2020
The nose is dominated by ripe red and black fruits with a hint of southern spice. The palate is immediately powerful yet balanced, with aromas similar to those on the nose. The tannins are mellowing but, given the concentration of the wine, are not yet exhausted. You can sense the touch of the Châteauneuf winemaker! Can easily age for another 2-3 years.

A treat for a wine in this price range. Fruity, smooth, and powerful at the same time.

Wine from a major producer. Not bad, but nothing like the original.
