Tasting
This natural Ventoux red reveals a deep robe with violet highlights. The nose is intense and pure, showcasing ripe black fruits — blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum — layered with notes of garrigue, black pepper, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the attack is smooth and generous, with beautiful concentration and a velvety texture. The tannins are present yet perfectly integrated, offering elegant structure without harshness. The long, expressive finish unveils spicy nuances and a refreshing lift, the signature of a living, unfiltered wine that stays true to its origin and environment.
Food pairings
This natural red wine pairs beautifully with authentic, flavorful cuisine. It’s a perfect match for herb-crusted roast lamb, beef tagine with warm spices, or wild game stew. For vegetarian options, consider grilled vegetable moussaka or a rosemary-infused squash gratin. On the cheese side, go for aged pressed varieties like Cantal or Salers. Served between 16 and 18°C, it reveals its full aromatic depth and sincerity, ideal for convivial meals and lovers of unadulterated wines.
