Pale and slightly coppery in hue, Fondreche's 2022 Ventoux Rose includes a hefty dose of Cinsault, with the balance a mix of Grenache and Syrah. Scents of crushed stone, boxwood and melon rind give it more than just fruity appeal, while it's medium-bodied in the mouth, with a silky texture and a lingering finish that adds notes of peach and guava. Complex and textural, it's a solid wine pretty much every year.
