Description

Château Landra’s Ventoux stands out as one of the appellation’s and the region’s great classics. A blend of Syrah and Grenache, it undergoes extended vatting, which gives it depth and character. This warm wine combines notes of stone fruit, a slightly earthy character and hints of spice. After a few years, the firm tannins soften to offer a silky texture and a supple palate.

Solis Solique virtus Sola

‘The sole virtue of sun and soil’. This motto appeared on Château Landra’s bottles as long as a hundred years ago. It recognised the estate’s pioneering role in the concept of respect for the terroir. Today, the wines are produced with the same philosophy.

In the vineyard, in the cellar

Château Landra’s 8.5 hectares of vineyards stretch out at the foot of Mont du Vaucluse on Quaternary alluvial soils. These consist of pebbles and gravel: clay-loam soils with limestone chippings. They benefit from exceptional sunshine (nearly 2,800 hours a year) and cool nights (due to the proximity of the Monts du Vaucluse). These specific climatic conditions allow the vines to achieve a fine physiological balance. Most of the vines are over 50 years old. Organic cultivation, hand-harvested.

Château Landra’s Ventoux is a blend of Grenache and Syrah. Vinified using indigenous yeasts, with no additives or sulphites. 20% undergoes carbonic maceration and 80% traditional vinification with a long vatting period to encourage slow and gradual extraction.
