Wine:

The quartet of viognier, roussanne, grenache, and clairette delivers, in this 2022 white Ventoux Terrasses, the most harmonious composition of the moment! A masterful creation where aromas of apricot and citrus blossom in a backdrop of freshness. The restrained aging defines the contours of a sharp, tangy palate, subtly fruity and crisp, perfect for an aperitif or paired with sophisticated fish dishes, be they raw or marinated, like a seabream ceviche. Pure delight!

Vinification:

Hand harvested, very chalky and stony soil at an altitude of around 350 meters. Separate vinification for each grape variety: direct pressing, 15-day fermentation in stainless steel vats. No wood ageing, blending and ageing in concrete and stainless steel vats. Bottled on the estate.

Vineyard worked according to biodynamic principles, certified Organic and Vegan.

Color:

Bright golden yellow with silver highlights.

Nose:

Fresh and subtle, with aromas of ripe fruit, apricot and white peach underlined by citrus notes.

Palate:

Slender and subtly acidic, this crisp, fresh wine is beautifully balanced with an intensely fruity backdrop.

Temperature:

Serve between 10 and 12°C.

Food and wine pairing:

For aperitifs, sea bream ceviche with lime zest, salmon tartar with orange, poultry brochette with mango.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2026

With a captivating approach and organic farming methods, Château Pesquié produces wines irresistibly rich in fruit, boasting tender and succulent textures that are hard to resist. Their high-altitude vineyards yield finely sculpted textures, some of the most radiant in their region.


It should be noted that the estate is under expert guidance. Emmanuel Gagnepain, one of the top oenologists, provides precise and thoughtful counsel. Concurrently, Olivier Poussier keeps a watchful eye on both the blending process and the ever-improving quality of this expansive estate, which spans nearly a hundred hectares.
