This 2019 Pax is made from 65% Grenache, chosen for its aging potential and richness, and 35% Syrah, selected for its finesse and freshness. The silky tannins support a generous, smooth palate with notes of licorice, caramel, and prunes, leading to a spicy finish. It pairs perfectly with a pork tenderloin with pepper or pan-seared veal liver with raspberry vinegar.

About the wine:

An elegant nose with notes of strawberries and redcurrants, followed by a juicy, fresh palate that blends stewed red berries with subtle spicy notes. A magnificent wine that is a true delight.

Review by Mr. MATHIEU W. Posted on October 4, 2023

Medium-deep to deep ruby color. On the nose, ripe blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, dark notes, herbs, root vegetables, vegetal tones, and a hint of acidity. On the palate, the same ripe dark fruit, lovely ripe and juicy sweetness, excellent body, fine acidity, grip, herbaceous notes, and spices, with good balance. The finish still carries that sweet, ripe character. Lovely indeed. And that lovely sweetness is thanks to the Grenache. Score: 16.5/20

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on August 6, 2023

Grenache and Syrah come together in an unconventional, full-bodied Ventoux. The supple attack is lined with dense, melt-in-the-mouth texture, while the caressing, enveloping tannins give way to a rich bouquet of savory fruit flavors with gentle spices, complemented by smoky nuances resulting from extended aging. The wine lingers all the way to the finish, which is persistent and equally generous, enhanced by a hint of cinnamon and a few notes of ginger. One forgets the power of this cuvée’s 14.5% alcohol content, as it is all tenderness and sensuality, without any heaviness, offering beautiful volume and great juiciness. Moreover, this remarkably balanced wine, which is incredibly easy to drink, has good aging potential. Ready to drink now, it paired admirably after aeration with a traditional farm-raised rabbit stew, long marinated and simmered, served with garlic mashed potatoes and pan-fried lepiotes mushrooms with parsley. Score = 4.1.
