New 100% Syrah vintage: the pure expression of the Ventoux
At the foot of Mont Ventoux, Syrah finds a unique terroir in which to express itself. The coolness of the high altitude, limestone soils and marked temperature variations: everything here combines to reveal a Syrah that is intense, elegant and deeply influenced by its terroir.
With our new 100% Syrah cuvée, we wanted to get back to basics. No frills. No compromises. Let the grape variety speak for itself, telling the story of Ventoux in its most authentic form.
A Syrah born of a high-altitude terroir
Grown on plots situated between 300 and 400 metres above sea level, our Syrah benefits from a cooler climate than in the rest of the southern Rhône Valley. The cool nights preserve the grapes’ natural acidity, whilst the generous sunshine ensures optimal ripeness. The result is a balanced, precise Syrah, never heavy, where the freshness gives the wine structure and prolongs the tasting experience.
The choice of 100% Syrah
Why a 100% Syrah cuvée ?
Because this grape variety is the very essence of the Ventoux region. It embodies both the power of the South and a surprising finesse when the terroir allows it.
In this cuvée:
- the Syrah is harvested at perfect ripeness,
- vinification is carried out with precision to preserve the fruit,
- ageing is designed to complement the wine without masking its identity.
The aim is to reveal a pure, straightforward, expressive Syrah, true to its origins.
Tasting notes: intensity and freshness
Aged for a year in concrete vats, this new vintage reveals:
- On the nose: aromas of crisp black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry), enhanced by notes of pepper, violet and a hint of smokiness.
- On the palate: a supple attack, good body, fine tannins and a fresh, spicy finish, the hallmark of Ventoux Syrahs.
A structured yet approachable wine, equally suited to drinking now or laying down.
Food and wine pairings: a Syrah for fine dining
hanks to its balance and freshness, this 100% Syrah cuvée pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted meats, lamb with herbes de Provence, slow-cooked dishes (stew, tagine with mild spices), or even vegetarian cuisine featuring roasted vegetables and spices.
A committed cuvée, true to our values
Like all our wines, this Syrah comes from our organically farmed vineyard, where we pay constant attention to the living environment, the soils and the expression of the terroir.
This cuvée is fully in line with our vision: to make sincere, precise and vibrant wines that reflect the Ventoux and our family’s commitment.
