Mont Ventoux, with an altitude of 1,910m, is the home of this unique vineyard. A large part of the Ventoux AOC wine-growing terraces happily rest on the plains of Ventoux.
It is the only vineyard on the plains of Ventoux
The appellation area extends across 3 production basins characterised by their huge diversity in terrain which gives the wine its particular quality and character:
• The Carpentras plain, the heart of the appellation area
• The Malaucène basin between Ventoux and the Massif of the Dentelles de Montmirail
• The Vaucluse Mountains, including Mont Ventoux, separate the Carpentras basin from the south of the appellation area where the vineyards are more spread out.
It is a delight for all the senses, from the eyes to the nose and the mouth
The Reds blends of Grenache, Shirz, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Carignan with the intense ruby colour. They give off aromas of red fruits and spices, before moving towards truffles and resinous trees.
The Rosés are elegant and refreshing, and deliver notes of cherry and raspberry
The Whites are golden coloured and are the perfect pairings of Clairette, Bourboulenc, White Grenache and Roussanne, with an enchanting youthfulness that gives off scents of narcissus, iris, green apple and citrus fruits.
