Description
Côte du Ventoux AOP – La Camarette – Red 2023 is a cuvée representative of this family estate nestled at the foot of Mont Ventoux, in the heart of a rich and diverse Provençal terroir. This vintage embodies the elegance and typicity of the appellation, with a careful blend of traditional grape varieties such as Grenache and Syrah, to which touches of Carignan or Mourvèdre may be added, depending on the plot.
The vines are grown according to the principles of organic farming (or in conversion, depending on the year), benefiting from generous sunshine and moderate temperatures thanks to the altitude and the cool Mistral winds. The grapes are picked by hand at perfect ripeness, ensuring optimal fruit quality.
Traditional vinification is characterised by a maceration of 15 to 20 days, allowing a gentle extraction of aromas, colour and tannins. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and the wine is aged in stainless steel or concrete vats, to preserve the purity of the fruit.
On tasting, this red shows an intense ruby colour with purplish glints. The nose is rich and complex, blending aromas of ripe red fruit (cherry, raspberry, strawberry), sweet spices and garrigue, characteristic of the south. The palate is supple and delicious, with fine tannins and lovely freshness, supported by a slightly peppery, liquorice-tinged finish that prolongs the pleasure.
