Pesquié Édition 1912M 2023 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Pesquié Édition 1912M Ventoux is a dry, medium-bodied blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault that pours a bright ruby and opens with a fragrant, lifted nose of sun-warmed pomegranate, dried sour cherry and lavender blossom, woven through with scrubby hillside herbs and a gentle grind of black pepper. The palate is vibrant and energetic, with a juicy core of red-toned fruit, silky tannins and refreshing acidity that carry through to a clean, mineral-edged finish, all shaped entirely in stainless steel to preserve every nuance of the mountain terroir. Serve it slightly below room temperature and drink now through 2028. Brothers Alexandre and Frédéric Chaudière, who took the reins of this certified organic family estate in 2003, named this cuvée in homage to the summit of the dramatic Mont Ventoux, which towers 1,912 metres above the surrounding Provençal landscape and is known locally as the Giant of Provence. The vineyards cling to clay and limestone terraces at around 300 metres altitude, where cool nights and warm days give this Grenache-led blend a vivid freshness that sets it apart from lower-lying southern Rhône reds. Try it alongside a slow-cooked pork and lentil stew with smoked paprika, where the wine's herbal brightness lifts every earthy spoonful, or pair it with a grazing board of cured saucisson and cornichons for an effortlessly French evening.

Food pairings: lentil and pork stew, roasted game meats, charcuterie.
