James Suckling
Chateau Pesquie Ventoux Terrasses 2023 750ml
Rhone
France

"A layered, textured and well-composed red, showing spiced cherries, wafers and warm earth on the nose. Medium-bodied with chalky tannins. Spicy and vivid with a long, savory finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold." —James Suckling

"A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, the 2023 Ventoux Terrasses has a juicy, pure, medium-bodied style that just screams Ventoux with its vibrant, mineral-laced style. Red and black berries, peppery garrigue, crushed stone, and spring flower notes all shine here, and it's medium-bodied, wonderfully pure, has integrated acidity, and a great finish." —Jeb Dunnuck

"The 2023 Ventoux Terrasses opens with notes of wild cherry, red plum, garrigue, crushed stone and a hint of black pepper. Medium-bodied and well balanced, it offers a core of red fruit that is precise rather than opulent and is framed by fine, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity. This is a poised, elegant Southern Rhône red—less about muscular power and more about tension and freshness—and it should drink well over the next 5–8 years." —Wine Advocate
