​Winemakers Stephanie & Olivier Ramé, a husband and wife team, are the third generation of their family to run the show at Maison Ventenac. Their vineyards are in Cabardès, the only Languedoc appellation that allows both Atlantic and Mediterranean grape varieties, so offering a unique exploration of flavors. The village is famed for its limestone, chalky soils, which they say gives their wines their saline & fresh characters. The winemaking philosophy is to allow their unique terroir to shine through in the wines, presenting them as naturally as possible and raising in tuns, terra cotta urns and concrete vats to enhance their purity.

For this vintage all the work was simply focused on wrapping the authoritative power of the Cabernet Sauvignon in a velvet glove through precise winemaking with no sulfur and only indigenous yeasts. 

Aromas of ripe pepper and blackcurrant with a roundness and a silky structure and a fresh and lingering finish.
