Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby color. Intense nose with spicy notes (especially black pepper) and red berries. This very balanced wine offers very round tannins and fresh berries aromas, with some floral and spicy flavors. plenty of black cherry and redcurrant fruits intermixed with more peppery garrigue, earth, and a touch of meatiness. More medium-bodied, lively, and beautifully textured, with silky tannins, it’s another no-brainer red that would be one hell of a house red. You can enjoy bottles today or safely cellar them for upwards of a decade.
Food Pairings – Very easy to match with simple dishes such as pizzas, kebabs, charcuterie, vegetable pies or salads to more ambitious cuisine like terrines, poultry and roasted or grilled meats.
Blend: 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah

About Château Pesquié
For fifty years, three generations of the Chaudière family, who own the Château, have worked with the same desire to explore and fully express the terroir of AOC Ventoux. The vineyard is certified organic by Ecocert.
Alexandre and Frédéric Chaudière, the latest generation in charge of the estate, tend their vines according to biodynamic principles, with care and precision. This late-ripening terroir is characterized by its geological richness and a predominance of limestone.
