2020 Cascavel Les Terroirs des Papes, AOP Châteauneuf-du-Pape
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!

Tasting Notes

Nose

The wine has a complex and fresh nose of red fruit, combined with slightly menthol-like notes of red fruit.

Mouth

On the palate, it is rich and full, with a natural elegance, and the silky tannins make it an immediately accessible and pleasant wine, with clear qualities to keep it for a while (5-7 years, depending on its expected profile).

The Cascavel wines are polished, authentic and very fairly priced for their quality.

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.
