Ventoux Blanc, “Epicure”
SKU VLBL
The white wine of the domaine is a blend of Grenache Blanc (40%), Roussanne (20%), Clairette (20%) and Bourboulenc (20%). Yields are shockingly low (this is a very dry area with little rainfall and the winds from both the Mediterranean to the south and from the mountains to the north act to dry the vineyards further), oftentimes registering at 25 hectoliters per hectare. Three-fourths of the wine is vinified in temperature-controlled tanks with the other quarter being vinified in barrel (not new) where there is a brief period of batonnage.
