Who makes it
Château Juvenal is a family winery in Saint-Hippolyte-le-Graveyron, with approximately 50 hectares managed organically. The modern winery brings together the Forestier and Alban families, whose work joins the Forestier château with the Alban family's cultivation of Juvenal's terroir.
The estate makes wines from two appellation categories, with named bottles that include Les Garrigues, Les Ribes du Vallat and Perséides de Juvenal. Its farming follows organic agriculture across the holding.
Where it grows
The estate's labels divide production between AOC Ventoux and AOC Muscat de Beaumes de Venise. Château Juvenal is located at 1080 Route de Caromb in Saint-Hippolyte-le-Graveyron.
An AOC name places a wine within a defined regional category. Here, the appellation distinguishes the Ventoux wines from the Muscat de Beaumes de Venise wines while keeping both under one estate name.
What they make
Château Juvenal's named range includes Les Garrigues, Les Ribes du Vallat and Perséides de Juvenal, alongside AOC Muscat de Beaumes de Venise production. Les Garrigues is a Ventoux red.
Les Ribes du Vallat comes in white and red forms. The white is 80% Clairette and 20% Viognier. The red is 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. Perséides de Juvenal is produced only in exceptional vintages from the estate's two finest Grenache parcels, with an ageing window of 5 to 7 years.
