Ventoux
TheVentoux appellation became an AOC in 1973, embodying several centuries of vine-growing heritage and tradition. In 2008, the current appellation replaced that of Côtes-du-Ventoux, without significantly altering its nature. The appellation's geographical area extends mainly south of Mont Ventoux and the Dentelles de Montmirail, through the Monts du Vaucluse to Cavalon.
Located on a site classified as a "Biosphere Reserve" by UNESCO in 1990, the terroir benefits from this richness.

The soil of the Ventoux appellation is made up of limestone gravel, a mixture of sand and ochre clay, and limestone scree from the mountains. Combined with the Mediterranean climate and the micro-influences linked to the variation of valleys, hills and plains, the terroir of Mont Ventoux offers a variety of nuances in the wines.

Essentially red in color, although rosés and more rarely white wines are offered for sale, Ventoux wines are mainly made from the Grenache Noir, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Carignan grape varieties. Ventoux reds are characterized by their suppleness and rich aromas. Wines from estates such as Xavier Vins, Château Unang, Domaine de la Brunely and the Terra Ventoux cellars are the reason for the growing renown of the Ventoux appellation.

"Tension and freshness are the watchwords of this vintage".

"Beautifully aromatic, quite southern with white peach aromas as well as notes of anise and fennel. A fine compromise between freshness and maturity. Open and approachable on the palate, with a certain roundness but no softness. A hint more intense on the palate than in the past". (Le Guide RVF 2025)

"A charming vintage

A Ventoux that opens harmoniously with floral aromas of acacia blossom, hawthorn and honeysuckle, accompanied by hints of citrus and vanilla. Fatness and roundness fill the mouth, with a profile of yellow fruit, fine balance and very pleasant freshness. A cuvée acclaimed for its acidity, minerality and freshness, making it a rare and atypical southern white wine.

"A special cuvee by Patrick Chêne, not to be missed!

"A multitude of flavors! Pomegranate syrup and fermented coffee beans, raspberries and black cherries baked into a jam so thick you could cut it into cubes. And that's exactly what this wine feels like on the palate. A sculpture of black fruit shaped in the corners and carved into the flesh, introverted, juicy balsamic, fine spices barely present. Enjoy it with confit pork chops. Enjoy on the fruit. (Jancis Robinson 2023)

"A delightful taste experience with this assertive cuvée!

"Nose of forest berries, wet stones and peppercorns, which follows through to a medium body with fine tannins. Round and creamy, with fresh acidity in the center and a succulent berry core on the finish." (James Suckling 2023). Caeli means "air" or "sky" in Latin.

"A luminous and perfectly balanced cuvée".

Ignis means "fire" in Latin, which brings to mind the radiant sunshine of the estate's region! This cuvée is expressive and balanced between floral and fruity notes. Clairette and Grenache blanc express themselves on the palate with a subtle, pleasant roundness.
