Domaine de Fenouillet Ventoux Rouge 2023 Southern Rhone and 10% Syrah from ancientThis cuve 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 years harvest.
