DESCRIPTION:
Description
This word comes from the Latin terras, meaning "lump of earth". The Ventoux region is characterized by alternating hills and valleys. To make the most of this exceptional terroir, vine growers and other farmers had to accomplish the colossal feat of building "terraces" into the steep hillsides. Still today, they are very typical of our landscapes and also called restanques or rébanqués in Provencal. The Chaudière Family chose this name in homage to the terraces their ancestors carved into carefully chosen sites and to the garden of Chateau Pesquie itself
Soil
The vineyards are on limestone and clay slopes (and a few sandy plots) at about 300 meters (about 1 000 feet) altitude.
Grape varieties Cinsault (50%) – Grenache (40%) – Syrah (10%)
Vinification
This Cuvee is fermented in stainless still tanks and kept at a low temperature for a few hours. Direct press. No oak. Bottled at Château Pesquié.
Tasting notes
