Chateau Juvenal, Ventoux 2024 'Perseides' Rouge

This is a very powerful but intriguingly delicious Grenache. Pure Grenache or with the 1% Syrah required by appellation law? Who knows (apart from Sebastien, of course) but who really cares? It's fun and fantastic in equal measures. 2024 was clearly another great success for the team at Juvenal. Great potential but really rather lovely now.

"A real tour de force. There are under 300 cases made and it offers an incredible bouquet of jammy blackberries, spring flowers, liquorice and rose petals. Full-bodied, voluptuous, rounded and downright sexy, it should knock your socks on right out of the gate." 95/100 (Wine Advocate)
