"This deep purple wine has a remarkable nose of bright black and blue fruits, violets, ground pepper and crushed stone. The palate is medium to full-bodied, pure and concentrated, with good purity, ripe, well-built tannins and an excellent finish." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 91/100
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Crystal-clear, well-aged, with body, hints of almond and tension. Proof of the quality of this estate's terroirs.
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 :
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.

Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
This wine brings out a peppery, violet Syrah, more northern than southern in definition. The nose is delicious, with juicy definition. The palate has a similar profile, with material that seems to us to be well managed in terms of extraction. The tannins are more prominent on the finish than in the 2020 vintage, but the overall impression is one of digestibility, given the freshness of the vintage.
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.
James Suckling
Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100
About the wine:
The nose of plum, redcurrant, cherry, grilled herbs, leather and black olive is followed by a full-bodied palate with silky tannins. Ample and generous, with a creamy core of red fruit and spices. Enjoy or keep.
