This Northern Rh?ne-based firm has a history in Ventoux going back more than 25 years and can usually be counted on to produce good values that are delicious young. The 2018 Ventoux is a little softer and less concentrated than the best vintages, but it boasts an attractive mix of black cherry and black olive flavors, a supple, medium-bodied feel in the mouth and a gently dusty finish that shows just enough structure to accompany pizza, burgers and the like.
