Description
Ventoux "La Claretiere" Pierre Amadieu, Southern Rhone, France, 2022
Grapes: 80% Grenache & 20% Syrah, unoaked
Fresh and aromatic, this well-structured Ventoux balances red fruit flavours of cherry and redcurrant with good body.
The vines producing this wine are grown on a rocky limestone and alluvium soil, typical of the Mont Ventoux terroir.
Since 1929, for three generations, the family domaine has been producing wines on the slopes of Mount Ventoux and in nearby Gigondas with vineyards spread over 137ha (at an altitude of between 230-500 m.a.s.l.), surrounded by 200ha of garrigue and holm oaks. Almost the only owner of these beautiful protected lands of the North-Eastern part of the Gigondas appellation, this exposure gives a perfect aeration to vines and avoids an excessive period of sunshine in full summer. It brings the wines freshness and allows a longer grapes’ maturation without risking drought or bitterness.
2022 was an exceptional vintage in the region, the best since 2019.
Food Match: Home made ratatouille, fettuccine al pesto, or cold meats.
