Vintage Character The 2024 vintage of Famille Perrin Ventoux Rouge from the Ventoux appellation in the Southern Rhône Valley showcases the vibrant character of its sunlit terroir. Benefiting from a warm, dry growing season, the wines of 2024 are marked by generous fruit, expressive aromatics, and an approachable structure that offers excellent value. Crafted from a blend of Grenache and Syrah, with Carignan occasionally included, this red opens with enticing aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and subtle wild herbs, complemented by gentle peppery spice.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is supple and juicy, with layers of fresh berry fruit, soft tannins, and lively acidity that bring balance and energy. The finish is smooth and persistent, with a whisper of savory earthiness reflecting Ventoux’s stony soils. Famille Perrin Ventoux Rouge pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled Mediterranean vegetables, or a classic Provençal ratatouille, and for added variety, it also complements Chinese beef stir-fry.
