Terroir:
The vineyards are situated in the Cabardès appellation, located in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. This area benefits from a unique climate influenced by both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, which creates an ideal environment for growing a diverse range of grape varieties. The soil is primarily clay-limestone, contributing to the wine's complexity and structure.
Viticulture:
Maison Ventenac practices sustainable viticulture to maintain the health and balance of the vineyard ecosystem. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure high-quality fruit.
Winemaking:
The wine is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Syrah. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit flavors and aromatic intensity. The wine is aged for several months in a combination of stainless steel and concrete vats, allowing it to develop complexity while maintaining its vibrant character.
Tasting Notes:
"La Réserve de Jeanne" is known for its deep ruby color and expressive nose, featuring aromas of ripe berries, floral notes, and a touch of aniseed and liquorice. On the palate, it is juicy and well-balanced, with flavors of blackberries, plums, and a hint of spice. The wine has a medium body with fine tannins and a long, elegant finish.
