The Estate and the Vineyard

Château Cedrus is an iconic winery located in the Ventoux AOP appellation, at the heart of the Mont Ventoux Natural Park in Provence. Situated on sun-drenched, wind-swept slopes, the estate benefits from an exceptional terroir of clay-limestone soils mixed with rolled pebbles, which give the grapes remarkable minerality, uniform ripeness, and great aromatic complexity. The altitude and significant temperature variations between day and night enhance the wines’ freshness and elegance.

Château Cedrus primarily cultivates traditional regional grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, complemented occasionally by varieties suited for whites and rosés. This diversity allows the production of powerful yet balanced reds, fresh and aromatic rosés, and lively, expressive whites. Viticulture is carried out with rigorous environmental respect, favoring a sustainable and careful approach, including manual harvesting, minimal intervention, and attentive soil management to preserve the natural expression of the terroir.

The wines of Château Cedrus are distinguished by their elegance, finesse, and balance. The reds reveal intense aromas of red and black fruits, enriched with spicy, peppery, or oaky notes depending on the aging, with a full-bodied palate, silky tannins, beautiful minerality, and a persistent finish. The rosés are noted for their freshness, subtle fruitiness, and minerality, while the whites offer vibrancy, aromatic complexity, and balance, perfect for accompanying fish and delicate dishes.

The estate combines Provençal tradition with modern winemaking techniques at every stage, from vineyard to bottle, making each cuvée a true expression of the unique Mont Ventoux terroir. Power, elegance, authenticity, and precise aromatics are found in every wine, establishing Château Cedrus as a benchmark of the Ventoux appellation.
