"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 with confit pork chops. Enjoy on the fruit. (Jancis Robinson 2023)

Domaine Dambrun
Ventoux
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
The Ventoux is home to a new chapter in the professional life of Laurence and Patrick Chêne. This twenty-year-old project is based in an 18th-century farmhouse at the foot of the famous Ventoux mountain. With a strong sense of conviction and unwavering faith, this couple with a passion for country life and Provence have brought together the region's all-too-frequently neglected grape varieties. Hundred-year-old vines, a winery that respects traditions without forgetting innovations, with the discerning eye of a certain Jérome Bressy: the answer is in the glass, relevant and clear-sighted for four vintages. In addition to the usual varieties, a little cinsault and fine counoise complete a successful blend, matured in cement and wood.
