La Ferme du Mont's "Vendange" is a rare white jewel from the iconic terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where the sun-drenched southern Rhône reveals an unexpected side - one of elegance, freshness, and mineral precision.
Crafted in limited quantities from old vines rooted in limestone and galet-strewn soils, this wine offers a brilliant interpretation of the appellation's white varieties.
From the first swirl in the glass, "Vendange" seduces with its pure aromas of citrus, stone fruit, and wild herbs, followed by a silky, layered palate that finishes with striking clarity and length.
This is certainly not your typical Rhône white - it is a wine of balance and refinement, shaped by cool-exposed vineyards, early morning harvesting, and patient aging on fine lees. The result is a beautifully textured wine that combines richness with vibrancy, and generosity with tension.
"Vendange" is a natural partner for the finest seafood, roasted poultry, truffle-based dishes, or even a quiet evening with a wedge of aged cheese and good company.
Critics agree: the 2021 vintage for example earned 95 points from Wine Enthusiast (Editor's choice # 15), and 92 points from Jeb Dunnuck. With similar acclaim fron Wine Advocate and Vinous in recent years, "Vendange" has firmly established itself as one of the most elegant and compelling white wines of the southern Rhône.
For those seeking a white Châteauneuf-du-Pape that goes beyond opulence to express true terroir and craftmanship, "Vendange" is a revelation. This is a wine for thoughtful drinkers, adventurous sommeliers, and collectors who understand that greatness can be both powerful and poised.
