Producer Information
Chêne Bleu is a range of red and white wines from the Vaucluse department near the border of the Rhône and Provence regions. They are are single-estate bottlings made largely outside the French appellation system, but based on classic Rhône grape varieties.The estate in question, Domaine de la Verrière, sits among the crags of the Dentelles di Montmirail in the foothills of Mont Ventoux, not far from Gigondas.The poperty lies in an area of convergence of various appellations. Rather than conform to a set of rules that apply to numerous estates with very different growing conditions, the emphasis with Chêne Bleu is to focus on what suits the vineyard. Accordingly front labels just mention, in small type, the location in “Crestet, Vaucluse, France”.
