Wine Critic Reviews

Gismondi on Wine (90): The Pesquié Terrasses Rouge ticks many buy boxes. It grows at an altitude of roughly 300 metres on a mix of 30-year-old estate vines on the slopes at the foot of Mount Ventoux. The soils are stony limestone with iron oxide, sands, and clays. The property is certified organic, and the farming and winemaking techniques are Demeter-certified biodynamic. The blend is 60/35 grenache/syrah with a mix of local varieties that, post-ferment, are aged for several months in stainless steel and cement. The nose is a black raspberry, cherry, and mulberry affair that spills onto the palate. There is also an attractive stony mineral underside that stiffens a fresh finish. There is excellent value here, something quickly fading among the best Rhône labels. Think of pizzas, kebabs, charcuterie, vegetable pies, and terrines. In the end, this Ventoux blend combines the richness of the South and the firmness and restraint of the North. Pesquie is now in its 4th generation of growing under the direction of brothers Alexandre and Frederic Chaudiere.
