Lastly, the Syrah dominated cuvee (there’s 20% Grenache) is the 2016 Ventoux Cuvee Quintessence. It’s another deep purple colored wine that has terrific purity in its black and blue fruits, ground pepper, olive and graphite aromas and flavors. Deep, rich and full-bodied, with beautiful polish to its tannin, this beauty will benefit from short-term cellaring and have 15-20 years of overall longevity.

A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, the 2016 Ventoux Quintessence continues the success of this cuvée, delivering dark layers of cola, dried spices and plummy fruit. It's full-bodied and plush, with a substantial 40% of new barrels, but it's balanced by 30% of the wine being aged in concrete, giving it richness without being overwhelmingly oaky. The bright, fresh finish seems to guarantee at least 5-8 years of longevity.

This bold, sweetly spiced wine boasts layers of black-cherry and mulberry flavors shaded by sun-baked thyme and rosemary. Made from 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache sourced from vines averaging over 50 years old, it's rich and concentrated but maintains freshness and balance. Enjoy now–2028.

About the Producer
Situated at the crossroads between two worlds, the Alpine and the Mediterranean, Château Pésquie sits at the vase of the Ventoux mountain. The estate is located in three villages: Mormoiron, Blauvac and Ville-sur-Auzon. There is evidence of vine cultivation at Château Pesquié that dates to two thousand years ago! The recent discovery of a pottery workshop and wine pottery from the Roman era (30 BC) in the Côtes du Ventoux Appellation confirms that the region is one of the oldest wine producing areas in France.
