2006 Chateau Pesquie Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee des Terrasses
Chateau Pesquie
A Proprietary Blend Dry Red Table wine from
Cotes du Ventoux, Southern Rhone, Rhone, France
Wine Advocate # 178 Aug 2008 Robert Parker 90
Drink: 2008 - 2013
$11-$12 (15)
The unfined/unfiltered 2006 Les Terrasses Rouge, a custom cuvee made for American importer Eric Solomon, is a blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. Its deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by a lovely bouquet of black currants, black cherries, licorice, smoke, roasted herbs, and melted licorice. Deep and full-bodied with velvety tannins, good acidity, and a long finish, this is a heck-of-a wine to drink over the next 4-5 years.
This is the benchmark estate for fabulous wine in the Cotes du Ventoux. Even with the weak American dollar, it can still be purchased for a song.
