Detailed information

Vintage

After a warm and hot summer, some rainy periods enabled the grapes to achieve the ideal maturity. During the harvest (which was early), the wind regulated the excessive temperatures, preserving the aromas of the grapes. This ideal weather and healthy conditions make the 2015 vintage one of the most qualitative in recent years.

Grape varieties

Grenache noir, Syrah

Terroir

This Ventoux is a blend of Grenache and Syrah grapes. The vineyard is located mainly on the sediment left by the seas of the Tertiary period at the base of the limestone massif of Ventoux.

Winemaking

Each grape variety is vinified individually to develop its own characteristics. Vatting lasts for 2 or 3 weeks depending on the grape variety. The wine is racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation. The different grape varieties are then blended. Ageing in vats for 6 months before bottling.
