The Rhône Valley’s rising star
The wines of AOC Ventoux are made at the foot of Mont-Ventoux, which culminates at 1912 meters, in the southern Rhône Valley offering a unique freshness and balance. It is the only appellation with vineyards spreading over two Regional Natural Parks. It is also recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. Ventoux is first and foremost defined by its cooler climate: the influence of the mountain creates a wide variation of temperatures between days and nights. The main varieties are Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Carignan for reds and rosés and Grenache blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, Viognier and Vermentino for whites. There is a great dynamic amongst the winegrowers of AOC Ventoux: aware of the incredible potential of their terroir, they know they are becoming the rising stars of the Rhône Valley.

A wind of change is blowing through the hills of Ventoux
AOC Ventoux will have the honor to organize a seminar hosted by Jeb Dunnuck during the next edition of Hospice du Rhône on April 21-23, 2022. This will be a great opportunity to showcase the wines of the Appellation throughout three days of amazing tastings dedicated to the wines made of Rhône varietals. A group of 8 growers and representatives of the AOC will fly to Paso Robles in California and celebrate the beauties of their cooler Rhône Valley vineyard around two paramount themes: freshness and late ripening areas.
