Created by Chateau Pesquie as a link between the paler, lighter Provence roses and more full-bodied Rhone roses of Tavel their Cotes du Ventoux offering is a delightful blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. With plenty of fresh flavors and excellent balance, this rose can be served as an apéritif, or with grilled meats and fishes, raw or grilled vegetables.
The Chateau Pesquie is a family estate, located at the foot of Mount Ventoux in the Southern Rhone Valley. Three generations of winemakers share traditional and modern vinification methods to produce world class wines that shows the families passion and great understanding of the Ventoux region. Planting the current vines in the early 1970's, prior to Ventoux being declared an AOC, the vines are now 35 to 40 years of age, and are now made into Estate bottling. For a bit of history, there is evidence of vine cultivation at Chateau Pesquie that dates over two thousand years, as recent discover of a pottery workshop and wine pottery dated 30 BC confirms that the Ventoux region is one of the oldest wine producting areas in France.
The Ventoux region sits in the south-eastern corner of the Rhone valley, high on the Vaucluse plateau, and east of the ancient city of Avignon and the great vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape. The higher altitudes have generally led to lighter-bodied reds and rose's that were essentially only suitable for young drinking, though some producers have now started crafting more durable reds that are age-worthy.
