Fourmi Rouge

TASTING NOTES

The archetypal pleasure wine, the Fourmi Rouge Ventoux red blend is authentic, genuine and tasty. On the nose are aromas of ripe fruit that is rich and spicy. On the palate are flavours of blackcurrant, blackberry and spice with a fresh finish. And at a great price to explore a new wine.

Type of Soil

This varies according to altitude but consists for the most part of deposits left around the base of the chalky Mont Ventoux by the seas of the Tertiary period. Red Mediterranean soils blend with chalk debris and round stones.

Vinification

This is adapted to suit each wine, grape variety and producer. Nearly all the grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in cement vats of 150 and 300 hectolitres. The fermentation is classic and extended. The wine is kept in both vats and large oak barrels for ten months, then bottled in July.
