Domaine Vintur, the spirit of the Ventoux between light and terroir
Domaine Vintur
A 5-hectare estate at the foot of Mont Ventoux, in Carpentras (Vaucluse), in certified organic farming. Bought in 2010 by Graham Shore and converted to organic, it produces deep reds, luminous whites, a delicate rosé and a sparkling, in AOC Ventoux and IGP Vaucluse, on vines aged 30 to 60 years.
An exceptional vineyard at the foot of Mont Ventoux, a clay-limestone soil, the mistral and old vines: at Domaine Vintur, the light of Provence becomes wine. Since the takeover by Graham Shore and the conversion to organic, the soil lives again and the wines gain in precision, freshness and depth. Sincere cuvees to discover direct.
An exceptional vineyard at the foot of Mont Ventoux
In the heart of the Vaucluse, Domaine Vintur stretches at the foot of Mont Ventoux, in a luminous basin framed by the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Luberon massif. This historic vineyard, one of the oldest in France, benefits from an exceptional terroir where the clay-limestone soil and the mistral, that dry, purifying wind, shape healthy, concentrated grapes. The vines, aged 30 to 60 years, produce wines of rare aromatic complexity: deep reds, luminous whites and delicate rosés. Each cuvee expresses with accuracy the typicity of this Provencal terroir, at once solar and harmonious.
Graham Shore, owner of Domaine Vintur
When I took over the estate, the soil was dead. Today, it lives: the worms, the hares and the birds have come back. This biodiversity can be tasted in every glass.

An independent winegrower serving the living
Faithful to the independent winegrower spirit, Domaine Vintur farms 5 hectares of vines in absolute respect for nature. The grapes from carefully tended plots are vinified on site in a modern cellar, where tradition and innovation meet. Since its purchase in 2010 by Graham Shore, a British enthusiast in love with Provence, the estate has undergone a true renaissance. From 2014, a full conversion to organic farming was begun; the organic certification was obtained for the 2017 vintage. Today, the estate is a model of respectful viticulture: no herbicide, pesticide or synthetic fertiliser. The soils are regenerated, wildlife returns, and the wines gain in precision, freshness and depth.
A story of light and culture
The name Vintur pays tribute to the Provencal god of Light and Mountains, protector of the Ventoux in Gaulish mythology. Some claim that Mont Ventoux takes its name from this solar deity, likened to Apollo. This symbolic heritage still guides the estate: to produce luminous, sincere and generous wines, reflections of eternal Provence. The cave, just 40 minutes from Avignon and 10 minutes from Carpentras, offers an authentic wine-tourism experience. There you can taste the estate's cuvees as well as a selection of regional products emblematic of the Provencal terroir.
The cuvees of Domaine Vintur
Since 2012, the estate has stood out in the greatest competitions: gold and silver medals, a trophy for the best white wine of the Ventoux appellation, and successive distinctions at Millesime Bio. The wines embody the diversity of the Ventoux, between the strength of the fruit and natural elegance. In red, grenache noir, syrah, mourvedre, carignan, merlot and cinsault; in white, grenache blanc, clairette, roussanne, rolle and bourboulenc. The Tradition range expresses the purity of the fruit, while Le Gentleman, Belenos and Selene, aged in oak barrels, sign its excellence.
