Description
The 18th-century Provençal house is situated at the foot of Mont Ventoux. The current owners, Frédéric Chaudière and his brother Alexandre (winemaker), jointly run Château Pesquié. 72 hectares of vineyards are cultivated organically around the commune of Mormoiron. Thanks in part to the unique location, the varied soil, and the right grape varieties, top-quality wines are produced here. Both brothers are currently regarded as pioneers in the Ventoux region, a fact underscored by their numerous awards in the international wine press.
This stunning wine, made from Syrah (80%) and Grenache (20%), is produced only in the best years and comes from terraced vineyards on south-facing slopes in the northern part of the appellation. The vines are on average over 50 years old. The wine is aged for 12 months in wooden barrels (50% new French oak and 50% one to two years old). The Quintessence is (even) fuller and more intense than the Terrasses Rouge. It has a bright, deep red color with aromas of raspberries (Grenache), licorice, leather, tobacco, and peppery spices. A hint of eucalyptus is very pleasant. The palate is soft, full of ripe black cherries and extremely elegant. The finish is exceptionally long and powerful. What richness!
Quintessence is a top-class wine from Chateau Pesquié.

The 2023 Ventoux Quintessence Rouge, a blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache grown on limestone and sandy soils, offers up aromas of cassis, ripe blackberries, violets, crushed rock and a touch of smoked meat. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s deep and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit, ripe but structured tannins and a bright spine of acidity that lends freshness and precision. More serious in profile than the estate’s Terrasses, this is a taut, mineral-driven red that should reward 6–10 years of cellaring.

Frédéric Chaudière (commerce) and his brother Alexandre (winemaker) jointly run Château Pesquié, located at the foot of Mont Ventoux. Their 72 hectares of vineyards are located within a maximum radius of 5 km around the Château in the municipality of Mormoiron and are planted on a very siliceous soil, mixed with clay and sandstone. The ecological way of working, in combination with a good quality and varied soil, the right grape varieties with a considerable age and the favorable microclimate with the cooling effect of the Mont Ventoux, guarantee top quality wines. Both brothers with great love for their wines and passion for quality, are currently seen as pioneers of their region and are a shining example for the Ventoux appellation. Robert Parker underlines the quality of this Château by regularly giving high scores.
The history of the winery is a real family history that started in the 1970s, when Odette and René Bastide bought an old and dilapidated winery and renovated it bit by bit. Above all, the vineyards were well cared for, they gave the harvest to a cooperative for 20 years. When around 1985, Odette's daughter Edith and her husband Paul Chaudière took over the winery, the vineyards were already in very good condition, in addition to the fact that the southern Rhône region was promoted to a qualified wine-growing region. This is how the first Château Pesquié came onto the market in the great vintage of 1990. In 2003 the two sons Alexandre and Frédéric took over the management of the estate together with their cousin Renaud. With a series of vintages that made a deep impression on the international press, they managed to get Château Pesquié into the top five of the Appellation Ventoux.
The conditions for this are therefore ideal. Just the location of the Château on the border of the Alps and the Mediterranean, in the extraordinary microclimate of Mont Ventoux. This guarantees very healthy grapes. The vineyards are at their best at about 35 years old. Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Roussanne, Viognier, Clairette and Chardonnay offer the typical Rhone grape varieties. The wine cellar is equipped with the most modern techniques. “If you like southern Rhône reds but don't like the price of most famous Châteauneufs, you should consider the great value and pleasure offered by Pesquié’s Les Terrasses”, Jancis Robinson writes, giving a telling assessment of the level of this winery!
