Château Pesquié Ventoux Terrasses Rosé 2023
Ventoux, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe 2020 was a solid rosé, but this 2023 is another step up. Grown 300m up the side of Mont Ventoux over clay-limestone gravel with calcium carbonate and some plots of sand, this biodynamically grown 50 / 40 /10 cinsault / grenache / syrah pitches perfect, wild strawberry dusted in tarragon, leaving you wondering if you should only nose this wine and skip the drinking. That would be a mistake because as refined and intriguing as the nose is, the palate is even better. Barely pink it sets you up for an ethereal palate of citrus, mineral, strawberry and dried herbs streaked with tangerine and spice. Fresh, dry, and vibrant, this bottle will disappear in minutes. We enjoyed it with deep fried Asian vegetable rolls and spicy squid.Tasted: 04 July 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $27.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
