Most wines come from organic farming or from the UNESCO-listed Mont Ventoux biosphere reserve. Everything is grown purely organically to produce wines that are true to the terroir and have the soul of the south.
Big, rich, long and full of flavour - think a less expensive Chateauneuf du Pape!

Background
Our Cascavel “Monts & Vertiges” Ventoux Red is one of Cascavel’s original wines. The cellar is located in Mormoiron, surrounded by most of the estate's vineyards and designed to limit the use of energy at a maximum and keep the wines in the best conditions. The wines are produced as naturally as possible. The historical vines of our Cascavel Ventoux benefit from fresh air streams sliding down the slopes of the Giant of Provence (the Mont Ventoux). The wine remains suave, pleasant, balanced and spicy in all circumstances.
The estate has around thirty hectares and is spread over several terroirs with varied exposure from limestone soils and Red clay with beautiful depth, to gravelly and sandstone soils. Therefore it benefits from all the richness and diversity of the great Ventoux terroirs.
