Domaine du Bon Reméde VIEILLES VIGNES AOC Ventoux 2023, 0,75 l

There are wines that need neither oak nor a grand presentation to win you over. This Ventoux impressively demonstrates just how much character pure fruit, terroir and meticulous winemaking can deliver. Even the very first sip is a real delight.

In the glass, this French wine glows a rich ruby red. The nose is reminiscent of red berries, Mediterranean herbs and a subtle hint of citrus freshness. On the palate, the wine is juicy, lively and wonderfully uncomplicated. The chalky soils bring tension and minerality, whilst the loamy subsoil ensures a pleasant roundness. Thanks to ageing in concrete tanks, everything remains clear, fresh and unadulterated – no oak distracts from the fruit here.

For years, Domaine du Bon Reméde has known how to bring out the very best of the Ventoux region. At the foot of Mont Ventoux, wines are produced that embody southern warmth, yet often possess a surprising amount of freshness. That is precisely what makes this vintage so appealing.

This red wine pairs superbly with grilled chicken, pasta with tomato sauce, ratatouille or a snack of savoury antipasti. Above all, however, it is a wine you’ll enjoy pouring – and even more so, drinking. A really good tip for anyone looking for authentic Rhône wines that are a joy to drink.
