Le Mas des Flauzieres Ventoux 2021

Le Mas des Flauzières is run by Jérôme Benoit in the southern Rhône Valley, farming to Terra Vitis certified sustainable standards across several of the region's most celebrated appellations. Ventoux sits in the shadow of Mont Ventoux — the cooler altitude giving the wines a freshness and elegance that sets them apart from the richer wines of the valley floor.

About This Wine

A Grenache and Syrah blend from Terra Vitis-certified vineyards on the slopes of Mont Ventoux — medium-bodied, aromatic, and full of wild southern Rhône character. The cooler altitude of Ventoux gives this wine a freshness and lift that makes it an excellent food wine.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Deep ruby
Nose: Ripe cherry-berry fruit with toasty vanilla, leather, and roasted meat
Palate: Very flavourful with wild forest fruits, cinnamon, fine herbs, and gamey notes
Finish: Long and satisfying with lingering spice

Food Pairing

Excellent with red meat and game. The wild herb and spice character also makes it a great match for lamb, cassoulet, and aged cheeses.
