My favorite in the lineup, the 2019 Ventoux Perseides is mostly Grenache blended with 5% Syrah. Brought up all in tank, it’s a more finesse-driven beauty revealing incredibly Provençal aromatics of black raspberry and strawberry fruits intermixed with spice, dried garrigue, and leather nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has silky tannins, no hard edges (I wrote seamless in my notes), and a great finish. It’s up with some of the finest Ventoux out there. Drink it over the coming decade.
