92pts James Suckling

The black-cherry and damson-plum aromas expand and expand and are joined by delicate baking-spice notes. Powerful and well structured, this impressive Ventoux red is just beginning a long life. Plenty of Mediterranean-herb and some dry-earth character at the long, plush finish. A blend of grenache, syrah, carignan, mourvedre and cinsault. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes

Ventoux Rouge “Domaine de Gouredon:” (This is the former AOC Cotes du Ventoux- the name was changed in 2008.) From organic vineyards on the plateau of Saint Hyppolyte de Graveyron on limestone rich sandy marl soils. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvedre & Cinsault in perfect harmony resulting in a bright and fresh wine with notes of red fruit and dessert spices, and a long, generous finish.
