Frédéric Chaudière and his brother Alexandre jointly run Château Pesquié, situated at the foot of Mont Ventoux. Their 72 hectares of vineyards lie within a maximum 5 km radius of the château in the commune of Mormoiron and are planted on a highly siliceous soil, mixed with clay and sandstone. Their ecological farming methods, combined with high-quality and diverse soil, the right grape varieties of considerable age, and the favorable microclimate with the cooling effect of Mont Ventoux, guarantee top-quality wines. Both brothers, with a deep love for their wines and a passion for quality, are currently regarded as pioneers in their region and are a shining example for the Ventoux appellation. Robert Parker underscores the quality of this château by regularly awarding high scores.

Château Pesquié 'Terrasses' Blanc is a cuvée of 40% Viognier, 20% Roussanne, 20% Grenache, and 20% Clairette, which thrives on the terraces of Mont Ventoux, which average 350 meters above sea level and contain abundant limestone. The Viognier harvest took place in early September, while the Grenache, Roussanne, and Clairette were harvested in late September. All grape varieties were fermented for approximately 15 days in stainless steel tanks. The use of wood was deliberately avoided. Because Viognier is only permitted in Ventoux A.P. at a maximum of 50%, the wine was designated a "Vin de France," which in no way alters the fact that this is a true Pesquié Terrasses! A delightful Viognier, fresh, floral, and fruity, with a light acidity and notes of honeysuckle, peach, and pear. The hint of exotic fruit on the finish is very pleasant.

This fresh and aromatic white wine from the southern Rhône, made with Viognier, Roussanne, and Clairette grapes, offers a combination of ripe fruit, floral notes, and lively acidity. Ideal with:

  • Grilled prawns with garlic and lemon

  • Salad with mango, avocado and goat cheese

  • Chicken fillet with a lemon and fresh tarragon sauce

  • Pasta with zucchini, lemon and Parmesan cheese

  • Quiche with leek and fresh herbs

  • Chicken tagine with apricots and almonds

  • Roasted cauliflower with cumin and yogurt dressing

This wine pairs beautifully with Mediterranean and slightly spicy dishes, and is particularly well-suited to summer meals or refined lunches. Serve at 10–12°C for the optimal balance between aromatic expression and freshness.

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!
