Maison Ventenac, Marie

Stephanie & Olivier Ramé, wife and husband, are the third generation of their family at Maison Ventenac. Their location around Ventenac-Cabardès is famed for limestone, chalky soils, which gives their wines saline & fresh characters. Olivier's philosophy is to allow their unique terroir to shine through in the wines, presenting them as naturally as possible and raising in terra cotta urns and concrete vats to enhance their purity. To enjoy the Marie’s cuvée, you have to enjoy simple things. This wine is mainly about fruit.  Intense.  Citrus generally, grapefruit specifically.  Then it’s about tightness and freshness.  Finally, it’s a bit of iodine, saline, sapidity.  Everything you need to pour a bit of sunshine into your glass.
