Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This three-generation family-run business produces a wide range of well-structured wines on some 70 hectares of land, in a modern, ambitious style that makes it one of Ventoux's "must-haves". Today managed by Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière, the vineyard features nine grape varieties grown on gravelly clay-limestone slopes at an altitude of 300 meters. The wines are vinified with tact.

About the wine:
Syrah accounts for the lion's share (80%) of this cuvée, in association with Grenache, and is immediately apparent with its inky, dark color and powerful bouquet of plum jam, Zan and black pepper. The palate is full-bodied, ample and warm, bearing witness to the vintage's sunny character. Long maturation in barrels and demi-muids fleshes out the texture with tight, consistent tannins that deliver a pleasantly spicy persistence on the finish. A vigorous and promising Ventoux.
About the domain :
Acquired in 1970 by Odette and René Bastide, this vast 100-hectare estate, with its consistent quality, has been run since 2003 by the third generation (Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière). The entire vineyard is certified organic and in the process of being converted to biodynamic viticulture.

About the wine:
A ripe palette of black fruits and spices. The wine is full-bodied, with good substance and structure. The concentrated juice, with silky tannins, is capable of ageing well.
About the domain :
he story of this estate began in the 1970s, when the Chaudière grandparents restored the château and part of the vineyard. Paul and Edith then provided the impetus by leaving the cooperative and favoring terroir selection. Since 2000, their children Frédéric and Alexandre have overseen the destiny of this vast vineyard. We have been seduced by the stylistic shift in the wines: they have really gained in finesse and sapidity, and represent the freshness of the terroir with dignity.
