Chene Bleu

Chêne Bleu is a winemaker based in Vaucluse, in the southern Rhône Valley. The producer works across appellations in this part of southeastern France, including Vaucluse IGP and Ventoux, making still wines in red, white, and rosé styles.

Vaucluse and the broader Ventoux region are characterized by warm Mediterranean conditions moderated by the Mistral wind, which flows down the Rhône Valley. This climate suits southern Rhône varieties well, particularly Grenache and Syrah for reds, and white varieties like Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. Wines from this area tend toward ripe fruit expression with good acidity and structure, reflecting both the heat and the ventilation the region receives.

Chêne Bleu's current range emphasizes the classic varieties of the southern Rhône. Their whites include single-varietal Viognier and a white blend (Aliot) built from Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne. Their reds center on Syrah and Grenache blends, notably the Astralabe cuvée, while their rosé draws on a broader palette of local red varieties. This selection reflects a straightforward engagement with the region's traditional grape mix.
