Description
Château Pesquié, located in the Ventoux AOC, was bought by René & Odette Bastide in the early 1970s around the time the AOC was established. They sold their grapes to the local cooperative and set about replanting most of the vines. Their daughter Edith and her husband Paul Chaudière took over the estate in the 1980s and started producing their own wines with an inaugural vintage in 1990. The estate is certified organic and vegan friendly and has been practicing biodynamic farming since 2015. It has vineyards in three villages to the south of Mont Ventoux, situated between 250 and 400 metres, all benefitting from proximity to the mountain through greater sunshine hours, day-to-night diurnals, limestone rich soils, and the Mistral wind which ensures consistent cultivation of healthy vines.
The Terrasses Rose, a blend of Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah, is grown on clay and limestone slopes at 300 metres. This cuvee is fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. Direct press with the entire vinification taking place in stainless steel.

Taste
A classic Provençal rose with wild strawberries, floral notes, bubble gum and a dash of herbs. This medium bodied, crisp wine has a clean, dry finish. Great on a hot summer day or as an apéritif on a cooler day to start the evening’s festivities.
