Perrin family Ventoux AOC

The Ventoux AOC from the Perrin family is a southern French red wine that combines accessibility and craftsmanship – classic Rhône style without heaviness.

Perrin et Fils from Courthézon is one of the most renowned wineries in the southern Rhône Valley. The family has cultivated vineyards around Châteauneuf-du-Pape for generations, but also consciously produces wines from the surrounding appellations – including Ventoux, whose grapes ripen at the foot of the eponymous mountain massif in significantly cooler nighttime temperatures than in the flat Rhône Valley.

In the glass, the wine displays aromas of cassis and ripe blackberry, underpinned by delicate lavender and a hint of peppery spice – typical of the garrigue-dominated vegetation of the region. The palate is medium-bodied, the tannins soft and well-integrated, and the acidity provides freshness without harshness. The finish is short to medium-long, fruity, and clean.

Best served between 16 and 18 °C . Pairs well with grilled lamb with herbs de Provence, ratatouille, or a mature goat cheese. Also a simple accompaniment for a midweek dinner.
