description
Vaison la Romaine is a village in the Northern Vaucluse, and is home to a world-famous weekly market for foods and dry goods. If you’ve read any of Patricia Wells’s Provençal cookbooks, you’ve seen pictures of Vaison with its Roman ruins, ancient (and still used) Roman bridge, and breathtaking stone houses hanging on a cliff by the river. Vaison la Romaine’s cooperative winery produces Côtes du Rhône and Côtes du Ventoux wines – the latter named for nearby Mont Ventoux (famous in the U.S. for the Tour de France). While similar in composition to Côtes du Rhônes, Ventoux wines are a bit lighter and brighter tasting. Délice is a white wine made from White Grenache, Clairette, and Bourboulenc. Cave la Romaine started producing Ventoux white wines in 2007, because of the high quality of grapes in the harvest, and has continued through 2009. It's a light-bodied white, with citrus, light white fruits, a little bit of a floral character too, but dry. Truly a delight!
