Presentation
At the foot of Mont Ventoux, Château Juvenal is a remarkable family estate that cultivates vines on clay-limestone soils under organic farming. Here, Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier thrive in ideal conditions, producing wines of great purity and balance. Grapes are harvested by hand, preserving integrity and concentration. In the winery, vinification is gentle and precise to reveal the terroir’s full potential. The reds are elegant and deep, with rich black fruit and spice notes.

Tasting
This Ventoux red captivates with its deep color and purple highlights. The nose bursts with vibrant aromas of fresh redcurrant and crushed raspberry, enriched by hints of blueberry and blackberry. On the palate, the texture is smooth and velvety, with impressive aromatic concentration. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, supporting a generous and balanced mouthfeel. Peppery and subtly spicy notes extend the tasting experience into a long, elegant finish. An expressive wine — both approachable and refined — that beautifully reflects its clay-limestone terroir and careful lees ageing.
Food pairings
This generous red wine pairs perfectly with bold, flavorful dishes. It will elevate duck breast with chanterelles, grilled Aubrac ribeye, or Ventoux lamb rack roasted with garrigue honey. For a vegetarian twist, consider a root vegetable gratin or creamy polenta with wild mushrooms. On the cheese side, opt for aged pressed varieties like Laguiole or Saint-Nectaire. Served between 16 and 18°C, it reveals its full aromatic richness and supple texture — ideal for convivial meals and hearty gatherings.
