Description
Bonpas Ventoux Rouge 750 ML
The Chaudi?re family has been part of the European Cellars portfolio since our founding in 1990 when the Rh?ne Valley wasn?t really on anyone?s radar let alone the then backwaters of the region such as Ventoux. How things have changed! Paul and Edith have turned things over to their sons Alex and Fred, and the Ventoux is no longer viewed at an insignificant satellite of the Rh?ne Valley but an important appellation in its own right. It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the geography of the southern Rh?ne that the soils in the shadow of Mt Ventoux are rich in limestone, or that these vineyards are located at a higher elevation than in the neighboring Rh?ne Valley, or that older vines produce more concentrated and complex fruit. At Ch?teau Pesqui? all of these conditions combine to create wines that are rich in fruit with remarkable balance and purity.
