In 2001 Anne-Marie and Bernard Forestier bought the castle and its estate, which was previously maintained by the Alban family who still helps to maintain the estate. Until 2011, the Chateau Juvenal's production was done at the Balma Venitia cellar. Their Château Juvenal cuvée has won several awards from the Hachette guide.
In 2011, Anne-Marie and Bernard Forestier joined forces with Sébastien Alban. The two families joined forces and built the cellars of Château Juvenal. In September 2011, Sébastien vinified the first vintage at the new chateau. Philippe Cambie, who was voted best oenologist of the year 2010 by Robert Parker, helps Sébastien and the wine production team at Chateau Juvenal.
Set on the southern foothills of Graveyron, a small Provençal hill in Comtat Venaissin, its sloping soil is a clay-limestone gravel pit enjoying maximum sunshine. The terroir of the estate is excellent! The Perseides bottling comes from 50 to 70-year-old vine Grenache.

TASTING NOTES
What's in the Glass
100% Grenache. Juicy and forward black cherry and grapey nose; very primary; Jammy blackberry, wildflowers, pepper, and mild garrigue flavors; the wine is fresh and clean with a calcaire edge and loads of aging potential.
