Maison Ventenac 'Réserve de Georges' is a characterful red blend representing the unique AOP Cabardès appellation in Languedoc. Named in honor of Stéphanie Ramé's grandfather, this wine embodies the estate's connection to its roots while adhering to the region's requirement of blending Atlantic grape varieties (like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) with Mediterranean ones (like Syrah). The grapes are sourced from select estate vineyards known for their stony soils, yielding concentrated fruit.

Often crafted using native yeasts and minimal intervention, potentially avoiding added sulfites or significant oak aging to maintain freshness and terroir expression (as noted in some recent reviews for specific vintages). This 'Réserve' offers more structure and complexity compared to the domaine's lighter styles. Expect aromas and flavours encompassing both red and black fruits, often complemented by notes of spice, tobacco, and sometimes graphite or herbal nuances. The palate typically shows good volume balanced by a refreshing acidity and supple yet present tannins, leading to a persistent finish.
