SENSORY EXPERIENCE
The Tasting
The Colour
Its colour is a deep, intense garnet.
The Nose
The nose of the Pax Rouge is appealing, with aromas of liquorice, caramel and prune
Mouthfeel
The attack is full, generous and soft. On the palate, there is lovely volume, silky tannins that are well wrapped, and a very pleasant sensation of softness.
The finish is elegant, lightly spiced (a hint of pepper) and has a beautiful persistence.
Monastic know-how.

Winemaking
– Mostly hand-harvested, with strict sorting to keep only ripe, healthy grapes.
– Maceration for about 20 days, without stems.
– Gentle extraction: délestage (rack and return) at the start of fermentation, then moderate pump-overs to avoid overly harsh tannins.
– Malolactic fermentation completed.
Ageing
Aged in concrete tanks for 18 months.
The essence of terroir
Via Caritatis and its monastic heritage
The wine is produced by Via Caritatis, a collaboration between the monks and nuns of the Abbaye Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux and winemakers from Mont Ventoux.
The estate benefits from a mountain terroir and a favourable microclimate (Provence sunshine, the mistral), and works its plots with great respect for nature.

Food & Wine Pairings
Red meats
Roast côte de bœuf, grilled entrecôte, braised beef cheek.

The aromatic richness of Grenache and the spicy side of Syrah bring out the complexity of the sauces.
Spicy Dishes
Lamb tagine with prunes, mild curries, world cuisine.
The peppery, floral notes of Syrah echo sweet spices.
Aged Cheeses
Saint-Nectaire, young Cantal, Tomme de Savoie
The roundness and fruitiness of the red wine pair well with sweet, slightly nutty flavours.
