100% Grenache from 50 year-old vines from the Ventoux region of France. %20(325x208).jpg)
The Ventoux region is quite massive, with a deluge of mediocre bulk wines. But, there are parts that possess incredible terroir. In the northern section of the appellation rise the peaks of the Dentelles de Montmirail. On the northwestern side of this mountain chain lay the vineyards of Gigondas. Yeah… that Gigondas, home to some of the most prized, and expensive, wines in the Rhone Valley. On the southeastern side lay the vineyards of Ch. Juvenal. Located on the southern slopes near Graveyron, the vineyards are considered to have one of the finest terroir in all of Ventoux.
Check it out... a gem hiding in plain site!
Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points
My favorite in the lineup, the 2019 Ventoux Perseides is mostly Grenache blended with 5% Syrah. Brought up all in tank, it’s a more finesse-driven beauty revealing incredibly Provençal aromatics of black raspberry and strawberry fruits intermixed with spice, dried garrigue, and leather nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has silky tannins, no hard edges (I wrote seamless in my notes), and a great finish. It’s up with some of the finest Ventoux out there. Drink it over the coming decade.
