      Bright golden colour. Aromatic and intense nose offering bold yellow fruit, crushed apricot, floral hints, and some garrigue notes.

        Producer Information

        Chêne Bleu is a range of red and white wines from the Vaucluse department near the border of the Rhône and Provence regions. They are are single-estate bottlings made largely outside the French appellation system, but based on classic Rhône grape varieties. The estate in question, Domaine de la Verrière, sits among the crags of the Dentelles di Montmirail in the foothills of Mont Ventoux, not far from Gigondas. The poperty lies in an area of convergence of various appellations. Rather than conform to a set of rules that apply to numerous estates with very different growing conditions, the emphasis with Chêne Bleu is to focus on what suits the vineyard. Accordingly front labels just mention, in small type, the location in "Crestet, Vaucluse, France". The name Chêne Blue means "Blue Oak" and derives from an old oak tree that succumbed to the droughts of 2005. The trunk and branches have been painted in Bordeaux Mixture by the artist Marco Nucero, giving the tree a blue-green color. There are around 30 hectares (75 acres) of vines. They are planted mainly with Grenache (25 or more years old) and Syrah (40-plus years old). There are smaller quantities of Mourvèdre, as well as the white grapes Rousanne, Marsanne, Viognier and Clairette. The vines lie at an altitude of 550m (1600ft), making it one of the higher vineyards in the South of France. This increases variations in day/night temperatures, which slow ripening to a degree, thus promoting grape quality. Harvests can take place up to three weeks after vineyards on the Rhône valley floor. The main downside to this is an increased exposure to bad autumnal wweather. The site gains more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Fruit ripens reliably and does not suffer from rot. Winds such as the Mistral contribute to flavor development, though the hilly terrain gives protection from weather extremes. The vines sit on complex geological layers with high basalt and mineral content. Topsoils combine limestone and clay.
