The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Château Pesquié produces joyful, delicious wine with bursting aromas of fruit and soft and well-balanced flavors that one can hardly resist. Its high altitude terroirs gives their wine an incredible freshness for the region, that Robert Parker can’t stop singing the praises of. Esteemed by wine critics from around the world, and particularly adored by our Selection Committee, this estate is a must-have for any wine enthusiast!
Wine With its delicate notes of rose and peony, the 2018 Red Ventoux Silica is playful and savory. It is a wine with an infused substance, carried by these touches of spice, cinnamon, which also carries a great background, a controlled and perfectly framed power. The Grenache (90%) shows its finest score, aged for two thirds in demi-muids and for one third in concrete eggs. The promise is great to see it blossom for many more years! A Selection Committee Favorite rated 94/100 Parker.
Vinification Hand harvested. Vinification in eggs and concrete vats with a long vatting time of 4 weeks allowing a soft infusion of the aromas. Aged for 12 to 15 months in demi-muids and concrete eggs.
