This wine benefits from the magic touch of well-known consultant, Philippe Cambie whom wine critic Robert Parker has called, "The God of Grenache." Cambie has earned his reputation by producing numerous 100 Point wines in the Rhone. Under his guidance, Chateau Juvenal is making delicious wines from Ventoux in the Rhone Valley.
Ventoux is a wine growing appellation in the southeastern part of the Rhone with vineyards blanketing the south and west-facing slopes of Mount Ventoux. This optimal location is blessed with intense sunshine which allows the grapes to achieve a good level of phenolic ripeness, while the cooler temperatures moderate this effect and allow the grapes extended hang time. The results show in the perfectly ripened fruit which maintain remarkable freshness.
Perseides is a smaller production wine made of 100% Grenache. This wine boasts great depth and intensity with polished tannins and a seamless texture. It also happened to receive a score of 93-95 Points by the Wine Advocate, which called it "a real tour de force". The review speaks for itself stating, "There are under 300 cases made and it offers an incredible bouquet of jammy blackberries, spring flowers, licorice and rose petals. Full- bodied, voluptuous, rounded and downright sexy, it should knock your socks off right out of the gate."
WINE ADVOCATE 93-95 POINTS - "A real tour de force is the 2015 Vin de France Perseïdes, which is 100% Grenache that was brought up all in stainless steel. There are under 300 cases made and it offers an incredible bouquet of jammy blackberries, spring flowers, licorice and rose petals. Full-bodied, voluptuous, rounded and downright sexy, it should knock your socks on right out of the gate.'
