The 2022 Ventoux Il Était Une Fois is based on very old vine Grenache raised only in glass globes and amphora with 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre raised in new oak. It might be one of the greatest Grenaches to come from the Ventoux and offers an incredible bouquet of kirsch, black raspberries, spring flowers, and Provençal spices. With remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish, don't miss it.
Rated 94-96/100 Jeb Dunnuck
A pure, lively and well-crafted red with notes of wild berries, wild herbs and baking spices. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. There is bright fruit character, with a vivid core of succulent berries on the palate mingling with the dried herbs and gentle spices. Full of verve, with a silky texture and a succulent finish. Grenache, syrah and mourvedre. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling
The 2022 Ventoux Il Etait Une Fois is based on 80% Grenache (planted in 1933, aged in concrete eggs and amphorae), plus 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah (aged in new barriques). Hints of menthol lead the way on the nose, backed by scents of blueberries and blackberries, while the full-bodied palate is round, ripe and rich, with a long, velvety finish. It's a lovely Grenache-based blend capable of rivaling wines from Gigondas or Châteauneuf du Pape.
