Introduction
The Château Pesquié "Cuvée des Terrasses" Blanc is a beautifully crafted white blend from the Mediterranean foothills of the Southern Rhône, known for its bright fruit, floral notes, and mineral freshness. Produced by the family-owned Château Pesquié, this wine captures the essence of the Southern Rhône’s sunny terroir and brings together traditional Rhône varietals in a harmonious, food-friendly blend that is both refreshing and complex.

Terrior
Located in the Ventoux appellation, Château Pesquié’s vineyards benefit from the cooling influence of the nearby Mont Ventoux and Mediterranean breezes, which help to retain acidity and aromatic freshness in the grapes. The region’s limestone and clay soils lend a characteristic minerality and structure to the wine, enhancing the vibrant fruit profile of the blend.

Appearance
Pale straw yellow with golden highlights, clear and bright.

Nose
Expressive aromas of white peach, apricot, and lemon zest, with floral hints of honeysuckle and acacia. A subtle minerality and herbal undertones, like thyme and fennel, add complexity to the nose.

Palate
Medium-bodied and well-rounded, with flavors of ripe pear, melon, and citrus. The wine’s balanced acidity provides freshness, while the creamy texture adds depth. Notes of stone fruit and a gentle mineral edge provide structure, and a touch of almond and white flowers enhance the complexity.

Finish
Long and elegant, with lingering notes of citrus and a refreshing minerality that leaves a clean, bright finish.

Overall Impression
The Château Pesquié "Cuvée des Terrasses" Blanc is a versatile and refined Rhône blend that combines the brightness of Mediterranean fruit with a subtle minerality. Its balanced profile and aromatic complexity make it a great pairing for seafood, white meats, and Mediterranean dishes, or a delightful choice as an aperitif.
