note
90/100 – JEB DUNNUCK
“Coming from a handful of sites in the Ventoux (mostly higher elevation, cooler vineyards), the 2017 Ventoux offers notes of ripe red fruits, garrigue, white pepper, and cedar. Elegant and medium-bodied, it has fine tannins, beautiful purity, and a pure, layered style.”
90/100 – JAMES SUCKLING
“Aromas of cassis and blueberries here with a spiced blueberry-pastry note, too. The palate has a juicy feel with crunchy, spiced blue fruit and a smooth transition to the gently chewy finish. Drink over the next five years. “
Terroir
