From the sun-drenched slopes of the Southern Rhône emerges "Le Ponnant" - a bold yet refined Côtes du Rhône Villages red that overdelivers in every sense.
Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Stéphane Vedeau, this wine brings together old-vine Grenache and Syrah from select hillside parcels near the dramatic Dentelles de Montmirail, where stony soils and the cleansing Mistral wind create a wine of both structure and finesse.
Velvety, layered, and bursting with wild berries, spices, herbs, le Ponnant offers the complexity of a top-tier Côtes du Rhône with the drinkability and charm of a classic.
It's wine for balance and integrity, aged for 12-14 months in large oak and concrete vats to highlight the purity of fruit and the minerality of its terroir.
Whether alongside grilled lamb, herb-roasted vegetables, or a classic hearty Mediterranean dish, le Ponnant rises to the occasion. Its bold character and silky tannins make it a versatile match for both rustic and refined dishes.
Le Ponnant is the perfect wine for those who seek the depth and authenticity of the southern Rhône without the prestige price tag - ideal for curious enthusiasts, discerning collectors, and everyday connoisseurs alike, it delivers exceptional quality, character and drinkability in every glass.
Vintage after vintage, Le Ponnant garners high praise from critics.
