SENSORY EXPERIENCE

The Tasting

The Colour

Its colour is luminous, a pale gold with silvery highlights, hinting at freshness and finesse.

The Nose 

The nose of the Lux Blanc 2024 is complex and delicate, elegantly blending aromas of ripe white fruit with a subtle floral touch, the signature of its old monastic Clairette vines.

Mouthfeel

The attack is broad and silky. On the palate, the wine combines power and delicacy, carried by lovely substance. The finish is long and harmonious, marked by fine notes of toasted almonds.

Monastic know-how.

Winemaking

Hand-harvested in small crates during the coolest hours of the day to preserve the integrity of the grapes. Slow fermentation allows for optimal aromatic expression.

Ageing

Aged on fine lees for 6 months. Part of the Roussanne is aged in barrels to bring complexity, volume and depth before the final blend.

The essence of terroir

Via Caritatis and its monastic heritage

View of the Abbaye Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux

Via Caritatis is the result of a unique alliance between the Monks and Nuns of the Abbaye du Barroux and local winemakers, carrying on the long monastic tradition of excellence of the AOC Ventoux.

Guided by the Benedictine rule « Ora et Labora », the estate grows its vines at altitude to achieve balance and authenticity, offering cuvées (Lux, Vox, Pax) that combine spirituality, ancestral know-how and modern oenological expertise, reflecting the richness and purity of this exceptional terroir.
