Château Pesquié Artemia 2022
Ventoux, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceArtemia is one of the three red single vineyard wines at Château Pesquié that comes from two sloping sites: a grenache vineyard on a small patch of stony limestone at 400+ metres; and a syrah vineyard clinging to the hillside at 340 meters on alluvial soils. The blend is a traditional Rhône mix of 80/20 syrah/grenache that grabs your attention the instant it hits the glass. It's definitely more Northern Rhône than Southern in style, with higher acidity and a firm backbone. The garrigue-dusted black fruit, licorice, and white pepper bask in a subtle bacon scent, and it's all at a pleasant 13% alcohol. It should go to the wine cellar if you can wait. In private stores only for now. Over the last three decades, Ventoux has emerged from the shadows of its more famous neighbours to become a respected Rhône appellation in its own right. No one has done more to enhance that reputation than the multi-generational Chaudière family. Now, under the direction of brothers Paul and Fred Chaudière, with the help of many hands, they farm 100 hectares on the slopes of Mont Ventoux. All the vines are grown organically and certified Demeter biodynamic.Tasted: 01 July 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $55.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
