What's in a name - 85p

This week's wine comes from a famous mountain in France and one that we have visited several times, mostly for it*s connection to the Tour de France, but also to sample the great food and good wine from here. ​

Probably our most fun time visiting Mont Ventoux was our trip to the little village Brantes at the bottom of the mountain. Here we spent a day foraging and cooking with the women of the town.

Our choice of wine for this week comes from the same area. Bonpas Ventoux Grande Reserve is made from 20% Syrah and 80% Grenache and is a lovely wine at a fantastic price.

Tasting notes:

 Bonpas Ventoux Grande Réserve des Challières 2021 - 144,90 kr 

Deep red colour. Red berries from the forest and mild spices on the nose. Good acidity, red berries and full-bodied tannic structure enhanced by lovely hints of spice and impressive length.
Serve at 17°C with all types of red and white meats, preferably grilled.
