"Great value for the price—buy by the case!"

“Made from a small plot of old vines, the 2016 Ventoux is a tremendous success. Aged in concrete tanks, it has a rich, concentrated, and velvety texture, with ripe aromas of plum and stone fruit. The finish is long and hints of garrigue. Excellent value for the price—buy by the case. ” (Wine Advocate – Robert Parker)

About the wine:

Made from a small plot of old vines, the 2016 Ventoux is a tremendous success. Aged in concrete tanks, it has a rich, concentrated, and velvety texture, with ripe aromas of plum and stone fruit. The finish is long and hints of garrigue. A great value—buy it by the case if you can find it.

Excellent value for the price. Not as powerful as a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, of course, but just as refined and elegant

No pleasure—or is the fruit just bland?

Review by Mr. OLIVIER L. Posted on May 21, 2020

Not bad, but I was very disappointed with this wine, which I found rather flat. The nose is pleasant, but on the palate, it doesn't live up to its promise.

Review by Mr. JEAN NOEL G. Published on May 5, 2020

The nose features ripe red and black fruits with a hint of southern spice. On the palate, it is powerful from the start yet well-balanced, with flavors similar to those on the nose. The tannins are beginning to round out, but given the wine’s concentration, they haven’t fully mellowed yet. You can really sense the touch of the Châteauneuf winemaker! It can easily age another 2–3 years.

A real treat for a wine in this price range. Fruity, smooth, and full-bodied all at once.

A wine from a major producer's private label. Not bad, but nothing like the original.
