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

"The wine is defined by the ripeness of the grapes. The roussanne and viognier grapes dominate the initial aromas, with their notes of yellow fruit and white flowers. The open nose seduces with its immediacy. Round and supple on the palate, the fruit remains intense[...]". (RVF Guide 2024)

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 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.
