Ventoux Terrasses Blanc is a gorgeous, clean, up-front, and delicious white that's ideal for drinking over the coming summer months. Ripe lime, chalky mineral, mint, and some garrigue notes all define the nose, and it's pure and clean on the palate, with wonderful fruit.
The Chaudière family has been part of the European Cellars portfolio since our founding in 1990 when the Rhône Valley wasn’t really on anyone’s radar let alone the then backwaters of the region such as Ventoux. How things have changed! Paul and Edith have turned things over to their sons Alex and Fred, and the Ventoux is no longer viewed at an insignificant satellite of the Rhône Valley but an important appellation in its own right. It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the geography of the southern Rhône that the soils in the shadow of Mt Ventoux are rich in limestone, or that these vineyards are located at a higher elevation than in the neighboring Rhône Valley, or that older vines produce more concentrated and complex fruit. At Château Pesquié all of these conditions combine to create wines that are rich in fruit with remarkable balance and purity.
