Perrin Ventoux Rouge 2023
From the renowned Famille Perrin in the Rhône Valley, France, the Ventoux Rouge 2023 is a lively blend of Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsault. Sourced from vineyards on the slopes of Mont Ventoux with chalky, red Mediterranean soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in cement tanks. Aged 12 months in stainless steel, oak foudres, and oak barrels, it offers a deep ruby hue with violet reflections.

The nose reveals red cherry, blackberry, and cassis, with hints of black pepper, violets, and Provençal herbs. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and balanced, with fresh acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of red fruit, spice, and a clean, mineral finish.
