Cépages:
This Ventoux is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan grapes.
Terroir:
The Mont Ventoux dominates the Provence with its protective mass. Its Southern slope (calcareous and clayey soils) extends slowly and hosts the vines of the Côtes du Ventoux. With a Southern French climate renowned for its contrasts, it endures the summer heat and violent Mistral winds.
Vinification:
Each grape variety is vinified individually to develop its own characteristics. Vatting lasts for 2 or 3 weeks depending on th e grape variety. The wine is racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation. The different grape varieties are then blended. The ageing in vats lasts for 6 months before bottling.

Service & accords:
This Ventoux will pair nicely with grilled lamb chops or beef daube.Serve between 16° and 18°C. Enjoy it now or cellar for up to 5 years.
