Consistent blend of Carignan, Cinsault and Grenache, cultivated organically in the rolling hills near Mont Ventoux, presents a textured nose featuring earthy notes, floral undertones, and a gentle sweetness. Upon entering the mouth, the wine reveals a concentrated grip with a fulfilling seamlessness of juiciness and tannic structure, tempered by a controlled level of bitterness. Overall, a well-crafted wine with a smooth finish.

Voss Experts4.5

This Rhône blend presents a deep garnet hue, unveiling an aromatic bouquet of black cherry, dried herbs, and hints of garrigue. On the palate, it offers a harmonious interplay of ripe plum and blackcurrant, underscored by a mineral-driven freshness. The medium-bodied structure is supported by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant acidity, leading to a lingering finish with nuances of anise and crushed stone. This wine exemplifies the finesse and balance characteristic of Ventoux terroir, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a refined expression of Southern Rhône craftsmanship.
