Pesquié Silica Ventoux Rouge 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
France, Southern Rhône
R625
‘A luxury cuvée from a single sandy site, the 2022 Ventoux Silica is 90% Grenache and 10% Cinsault, mostly fermented and aged in demi-muids. Explosive aromas of black cherries, stone fruit and dried spices burst forth on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, broad and expansive but silky and crisp at the same time, with a long finish and a restrained touch of mocha. Exciting stuff. 2024-2035’ – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 93-95/100
‘Offers the freshness of the Ventoux, with a pure beam of crunchy cherry and pomegranate unadorned with excessive oak. Iron minerality cruises from start to finish, with a structured feel to the focused tannins. Dusty earth and a hint of alder smoke emerge, showing an inner density that draws the finish way out. Grenache and Cinsault. Drink now through 2028.’ – Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, 91/100

| 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. |
