The wine region of Ventoux
High-altitude, cool southern Rhône (below the 1,912 m Giant of Provence): signature reds from Grenache and Syrah — round and supple with notes of cherry, raspberry, garrigue, pepper and a truffle touch with age, melted tannins, natural freshness and easy drinking (vs the sun-baked plains wines). Carignan, Cinsault and Mourvèdre as support. Lively, crunchy rosés (raspberry, flowers). Ample whites of Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Vermentino.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Vaccaresis
Black grape variety, one of the 13 of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which can be used in a blend in this appellation and other neighbouring AOCs (Côtes-du-Rhône, Gigondas...). It produces a floral, elegant and fresh wine, which balances the warmth of the Grenache. It is rare.
