Reserve Saint Dominique Eric Bonnet Ventoux Rouge 2023

Outstanding value Ventoux that is grown on soils of hard cretaceous limestone limestone scree and alluvium at an average altitude of 450 meters at the foot of Ventoux the southern slope. 90 Grenache 10 Syrah. A brilliant ruby colour with pretty purple highlights. Intense and expressive nose of cherries and raspberries fresh floral notes with a touch of thyme and white pepper. On the palate it has lovely weight and complexity and a lovely balance of flavours with a brilliant stony minerality on the wonderful finish. Serve at 17A C and to be enjoyed however you want. Another outstanding value wine from the ridiculously good Dominique. From the Guide Hachette 2026 edition: "A pure vibrant unadorned Grenache born from a hand-picked harvest and aged for twelve months in vats. The vibrant color with blue highlights announces the richness of the bouquet clean and intense: blackcurrant jelly clove and smoky notes. The freshness immediately carves its way into an enveloping creamy mouthfeel supported by finely sculpted tannins and a pulpy fruitiness tinged with a languorous note of dark chocolate on the finish. Voluptuous it can be opened today or cellared for a few years". The 2023 La Reserve Saint-Dominique Ventoux Rouge received a two star rating in the Guide which makes it a "remarkable wine". The jury awarded it a Coup de Coeur. This wine was rated in the 2026 edition of the Hachette Vins Guide. This is a remarkable achievement in the guide normally reserved for wines twice the price (plus) of the Dominique Ventoux. Again outstanding value wine.
