the tank-aged 2022 Ventoux Edition 1912M is an assemblage of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Cinsault. The nose is vaguely peppery and hints briefly of violets, then it develops more cherries and blackberries, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, round, silky and supple, with ample concentration and a ripe, fruity finish. Fun stuff.
This is a blend. Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel tanks and concrete veseels. This wine demonstrates freshness and vibrancy that ventoux is capable of achieving due to its elevation and its unique microclimate provided by the nearby mountain.
Ventoux is a region shadowed by the likes of Northern Rhone and Provence but it doesn't take away from this underrated southern Rhone region's potential to turn out red wines of depth and elegance. This classic Southern Rhone blend of Grenache and Syrah benefits greatly from the region's cool high altitude climate and limestone soils and diligence of the Chaudière family that have made Ventoux's star shine on the international map with stunning wines like this one. Pesquié calls this wine Édition 1912m' as a tribute to the famous Mont Ventoux which stands at an altitude of 1912 meters and helps impart vital polyphenolic ripeness to the grapes that shows up in a hearty palate of red berries and Provencal herbs.
