2022 Chateau Pesquié Ventoux Terrasses (Special 30th Anniversary Cuvée)

“A well-crafted, focused and lively Ventoux red with notes of dark cherries, currants, wild herbs and baking spices. Medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. Textural and focused with a transparent character. Vivid and well composed. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.” Review Date: May 2024

“A special selection cuvée put together by importer Eric Solomon, the 2022 Ventoux Terrasses (Special 30th Anniversary) is based on an even split of Grenache and Syrah that was raised mostly in concrete with 30% in used barrels. It has a richer, denser style in its ripe black fruits, peppery herbs, and graphite-like aromatics and is medium to full-bodied, with a deep, layered mouthfeel and ripe tannins.” – Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: October 2023

“To mark 30 years of working with American importer Eric Solomon, the Chaudières and Solomon collaborated to create the 2022 Ventoux Terrasses Eric Solomon 30th Anniversary Cuvée, a 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, aged partly in barriques (30%). Gentle notions of menthol and toasty oak appear first on the nose, then you get plenty of blueberries and dark cherries. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, creamy and opulent, with a long, velvety finish, softly dusty tannins and a discreet hint of black olive. Drink Date: 2023 - 2030” – Joe Czerwinski Review Date: May 2024
