Fully grown, harvested, produced and bottled in Vaison-la-Romaine, it combines ripe dark-fruit character with elegant tannins and a refined finish. Its restrained production style allows the freshness and natural balance of the Ventoux terroir to take centre stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a deep ruby colour. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of dark berries and ripe black fruit, complemented by subtle spice. The palate is generous and rounded, with flavours of mature dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and a smooth, refined aftertaste.\n\nEnjoyable in its youth for its vibrant fruit and supple texture, the 2024 vintage is best appreciated over the next few years while its freshness and expressive fruit remain at the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is produced at the foot of Mont Ventoux in the Vaison-la-Romaine area, within the AOP Ventoux appellation. It is made with minimal intervention and undergoes a gentle 20-day maceration, allowing colour, aroma and flavour to develop without overpowering the fruit. Maturation in concrete tanks helps preserve the wine’s clean fruit profile and natural balance before bottling in Vaison-la-Romaine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA versatile choice for Provençal and Mediterranean cuisine, this red pairs well with grilled lamb, roast poultry, sausages, herb-seasoned vegetables, ratatouille and mushroom dishes.
