In a few words ...
Arakao: complexity, restrained power and elegance. These are three words that describe this cuvée, with its freshness. The 2016 vintage is characterized by a voluptuous blend of wood and wine tannins that have melted over the years. While the fruit (black fruits) is still present, other notes have come to the fore (coffee, spices). A wine full of wisdom that has not lost its charm or character.

The Ventoux AOC offers increasingly high-quality wines. Proof of this is the Arakao 2017 vintage, which is perfect with well-marinated meat. A must have!

A very fine red wine... Character with lovely fruit and finesse. The barrel ageing is well mastered. It adds complexity without dominating the wine. Best served with a good meal, it will give you its full potential if you open it in advance.

Dark fruit on the nose. Rich, smooth, and spicy with a dry finish. Very satisfying.

A surprising wine, with well-balanced fruit and fine, long oak. Worth discovering.
Domaine Les Patys
Domaine Les Patys is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 3 wines available to purchase, including the wine ARAKAO 2021.
Appellation
Ventoux
The appellation Ventoux is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine Les Patys and its 3 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
