Chêne Bleu Astralabe 2019
From Chêne Bleu’s Domaine de la Verrière in Crestet, Vaucluse, the Astralabe 2019 is a refined blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. Sourced from organic vineyards at 530–550 meters near Mont Ventoux on clay-limestone soils, it’s hand-harvested and aged 12 months in French oak barrels, offering a garnet hue with vibrant complexity.
