ABOUT THIS WINE
Château Pesquié Terrasses Blanc 2022 hails from the AOC Ventoux appellation in the Rhône Valley, France. Produced by the Chaudière family, who have been making wine for three generations, the estate is situated at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The vineyards are planted on elevated plots, around 350-400 meters above sea level, on limestone or clay-limestone soils. The estate is managed with a focus on organic viticulture and is in conversion to biodynamic practices. The Terrasses Blanc is a blend of Viognier, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, and Roussanne, with the exact percentages varying slightly by source. The wine's unique character is influenced by the high-altitude micro-climate of the Ventoux region.
