Displaying colours of deep ruby red, showing garnet reflections while young. With its predominately berry fruit bouquet, this wine shows the full aromatic power of these two fine grape varieties whilst retaining the freshness imparted by well-controlled winemaking. 

The grenache grapes undergo traditional winemaking in stainless steel vats. Daily pumping over allows gentle extraction of phenolic components. The syrah is sometimes not destemmed in order to fully express the power of the fruit aroms from this variety. After malolactic fermentation, the wines are blended before going into stainless steel vats in the temperature-controlled winery. They are bottled after six to eight months. 

The Ventoux pairs well with Provencale stews, cold cuts, mixed grills and wild fowl.
