‘The 2020 Ventoux Quintessence is the typical blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, aged in a mix of concrete, demi-muids and barriques. Scents of licorice, wood spice and vanilla join mixed berries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is lush and creamy in texture, with a long, supple finish. While perhaps a touch modern in style, it offers an undeniably appealing marriage of freshness and power. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2023-2035’ – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 93/100
‘Moving to the 2020s from bottle, the 2020 Ventoux Quintessence is beauty revealing assorted blackberry and black raspberry-like fruits, some obvious chalky minerality, medium to full body, and a complex bouquet of violets, flowers, and spice. I love its purity, and it's going to age for 10-15 years in cold cellars.’ – Jeb Dunnuck, 93/100

| Producer information | Château Pesquié, situated northeast of Avignon within the Rhône Valley, is a place that, according to Wine Spectator, looks like it has produced fine wines for decades. The estate consists of 250 acres of organic vineyards spread over the foothills of Mont Ventoux. Its landmark is the wind-whipped, white limestone peak that watches over the estate. Robert Parker calls Château Pesquié one of his 'all-time favorite producers in France', and their reputation confirms this after receiving more than a dozen 90-plus-point scores for their wines. Their wines are described as fresh, fruit-driven and exuberant, and are the best examples of today's Ventoux AOC bottlings. |
