"The Syrah immediately expresses its spiciness. The nose is peppery and spicy. This is a fair expression of Syrah: the palate is full-bodied, dense, with good structure. The wine is long and sappy with good wood management." (Jeb Dunnuck)

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.

Rated (2020 guide) 90-92/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domain rated (guide 2021) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Ventoux Artemia 2019 is a blend of 75% Syrah and 25% Grenache, aged in equal proportions in barriques, demi-muids and concrete vats. From a gravelly limestone plateau at high altitude, we find a more northerly style of Syrah, with floral and herbaceous notes on the nose and hints of cracked pepper. Medium-bodied, it's fresh and lively, but with firm tannins and savory black olive notes on the long finish.

About the wine:
The Syrah immediately expresses its spiciness. The nose is peppery and spicy. The palate is full-bodied, dense and well-structured. The wine is long and sappy, with good wood management.
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.
