Fenouillet Ventoux Rouge 2015

Importer notes: “This cuvée is a blend of 75% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 5% Carignan. It is sourced from three separate ‘terroirs’: the stony silex-infused plateau of Saint Hippolyte, the silex dominated soils of the hill of Piniere in Aubignan and the clay-limestone mix in the soils of the commune of Barroux. The parcels are harvested and vinified separately and the final blend is created before the bottling which occurs prior to the next year’s harvest. Annual production is in the neighborhood of 16,000 bottles of which about half (7800 bottles) are shipped by us for distribution in the USA.”
