One of the demanded red wine regions in France is the Rh\u00f4ne, a valley that starts due south of Lyon and continues along the Rh\u00f4ne River until Provence.<\/p>\n
Due to its notable length, it has varying soils, expositions, micro-climates and varieties. The north is home to appellations such as Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, St-Joseph, Cornas and features Syrah as its sole red grape. Its whites include Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.<\/p>\n
In its southern half of the Rh\u00f4ne, the wines are notably different. The vineyards are hotter, flatter and composed of different soils and varieties, such as Grenache, Mourv\u00e8dre, Cinsault and Carignan as well as the ubiquitous Syrah. The resulting wines such as Ch\u00e2teauneuf du Pape, are rich and robust with lots of character and warmth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”20126″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Ch\u00e2teau Pesqui\u00e9 is a family estate located in the southern Rh\u00f4ne Valley, at the foot of the southern slopes of Mont Ventoux.<\/p>\n
The management of Ch\u00e2teau Pesqui\u00e9 is now the responsibility of Alexandre and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chaudi\u00e8re, the 3rd generation of the family.<\/p>\n
The vines occupy clay and limestone slopes and are among some of the last to produce fully ripened fruit in the southern Rh\u00f4ne Valley.<\/p>\n
In 2003, the brothers have implemented organic viticultural methods at the estate. From 2015 they have farmed biodynamically.<\/p>\n

Terrasses 2024 captures all the freshness and sparkle of white Ventoux. From a limestone terroir at an altitude of 350 metres, this blend has a floral, zesty nose dominated by citrus fruit and lime. The palate is taut and lively, combining grapefruit, lychee and white fruit, underpinned by a fine minerality. Vinified in stainless steel and concrete vats to preserve its purity.<\/p>\n
“Tension and freshness are the key words for this vintage…<\/b>Composed of equal parts Roussanne, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette, and aged in stainless steel vats, the Ventoux Terrasses Blanc 2024 offers exotic aromas of honeyed citrus, mint, crushed stone, and notes of mandarin orange. It is medium-bodied, with a pure, concentrated and elegant palate, integrated acidity and a good finish.” <\/em>– Jeb Dunnuck, 91 Points<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n Grape<\/strong>: 25% Viognier, 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne, 25% Clairette<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
