50 years of commitment in environment and wines.

THE ENVIRONMENT

Our wines are made at the foot of Mont-Ventoux, which culminates at 1912 metres, at the heart of the ecosystem of the Vaucluse Mountains, offering an astounding natural wealth. So, AOC Ventoux is the only appellation with vineyards spread over two Regional Natural Parks: that of Ventoux and Luberon. Mont-Ventoux is also recognised by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve.

THE CLIMATE

The climate of Ventoux is one of the coolest microclimates in the southern Rhône Valley. It is a Mediterranean climate influenced by the altitude: alternance of sunny days and cool nights. This amplitude of temperatures is expressed in the fresh and balanced wines of the terroir.

The 6000 hectares of vines benefit from the climatic contrasts of the mountains, plains and valleys of the appellation.
And the geological differences surrounding Mont-Ventoux contribute to the richness and diversity of the wines of Ventoux.

WINES OF EXPERIENCES

AOC Ventoux RED
Exalted freshness

The red wines reveal beautiful garnet colours, and are round, supple, and full of warmth. On the palate, they begin with spicy and fruity notes which evolve towards hints of truffle. They offer an astonishing freshness. A characteristic nervosity which differentiates them from the other southern Rhône Valley wines.

AOC Ventoux ROSE
Enthusiastic indulgence

The rosé reveals a panel of very varied colours ranging from salmon to a stronger pink. The nose is deep and intense with typical aromas of raspberry and cherry, and floral notes that complete the bouquet.
Dense and very round on the palate with a lovely vivacity. The freshness makes these wines a great choice as an aperitif, or to accompany an anchoïade dip or summer salads.

AOC Ventoux WHITE
Confidential audacity

The white wines are pale yellow in colour with beautiful green flecks. The bouquet is characterised by aromas of pear, apple, and citrus fruits, completed by notes of vanilla and coconut.
On the palate, it is the delicacy of the aromas that impresses. The mouthfeel is ample and generous but not heavy. These whites are excellent with green asparagus or a fillet of bream.

HISTORY

A workshop of pottery and dolia (vessels for holding wine), dating back to 30 BC, is the first recorded trace of winegrowing in the region linked to the presence of the Greeks and then the Romans. So, vines have been grown on the slopes of Mont-Ventoux since ancient times. This summit, the highest and most spectacular of all the limestone Vaucluse mountains, dominates and influences the appellation, to which it has lent its name for a very long time.
