L'Auberge Chez Francois 70th Anniversary

Rhone Valley

Château du Ventoux 2021 In 867, the Bishop of Venasque was given Château Unang, then known as Villa Unango. The Greeks first came to the Rhone Valley in the mid 7th century BC and Unango, a most unFrench word, bears an interesting resemblance to the ancient Greek word for wine vessel. The domaine is isolated and self-contained with, interestingly enough, its own geological category: les sables d’Unang. This refers to a particular type of sandy soil that lies overtop limestone. Farmed and certified organic, ths wine is 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault. Unang Côtes
