    Mont Ventoux is probably better known to Tour de France fans than wine drinkers but this mountainous area of Provence in the south of France, just 30km to the east of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, produces fantastic wines in the style of the Rhône but with a distinctive freshness and at slightly cheaper prices.

    Sébastien Vincenti’s Domaine de Fondrèche is widely recognised as one of the very best producers in the Ventoux appellation.

    His 38 hectares are worked in a very natural way, the aim being to create perfect harmony between vine, soil and environment. No chemical herbicides are used. Any treatments are 100% natural. All stages of vineyard and cellar work are determined by the lunar calendar.

    The 2017 Ventoux Persia, a blend of 90% Syrah with the balance Mourvèdre, is rich yet elegant with plenty of kirsch and blackberry fruits, herbs and smoke.  It’s medium to full-bodied, has sweet tannins, and is loaded with Provençal character.

    Wine Style Meter

     

    Our ongoing quest at Winecroft is to do away with winespeak so we can talk clearly about the wine. One of the ways we achieve this is by using our Wine Style Meter, a key tool to match you with new wines we believe that you’ll love. We do this by matching the style of each wine on our list to your personal taste profile, which is established with the science-based Winecroft taste test and will evolve as you taste new wines.

    The needle on the Wine Style Meter points you towards the following wines:

    Once you settle the needle on the style of wine you like, our Wine Style Meter is a quick, clear and simple way of gauging whether you’ll like a particular wine from our wonderful winelist.
