Won a Gold Medal - Millésime Bio 2022

​

Le Gentleman is our flagship red wine, made from the best and oldest plots of vines, all between 30 and 70 years old.

​

2017 is a vintage from exceptionally dry and hot summers.  The wines are concentrated, voluptuous and richly structured with ripe tannins. Our vineyard is organic farming.  The high quality of the grapes from this vintage reflect the improving structure of our vineyard soils. 

​

The wine was fermented in stainless steel and some of it was then aged in breathable neutral vessels and approximately 12% for twenty months in previously used oak barrels.  The flavours are intense and complemented by the light use of oak.

Grape varieties

55% Grenache Noir, 35% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Carignan​

​

Tasting notes

Dark cherry and berries, plums and notes of the garrigue. The elegant ripe fruit has hints of liquorice and spices including white pepper. 

The wine has a mineral femininity which leaves a refined and long finish.

Decanter Magazine quote

"Domaine Vintur, Le Gentleman, Ventoux 2017

Very playful interplay of earthy, herbal and ripe red fruit notes; sour cherry, blood orange and red plum are underscored by crushed mint, sage and oregano. Fine, refreshing tannins - an interesting wine with energy and character. Organic certified."
