Introduction:
Château Pesquié’s 2020 Ventoux Edition 1912M is a powerful yet elegant red blend that reflects the high-altitude terroir of Mont Ventoux. Named after the mountain's towering 1,912-meter peak, this wine is a testament to the region’s dynamic climate, producing a rich and complex expression of Grenache and Syrah.

Terrior:
Sourced from vineyards at high elevations in the Southern Rhône Valley, this wine benefits from a mix of limestone and clay soils, providing excellent drainage and minerality. The cool mountain breezes help maintain acidity and freshness, balancing the ripeness of the grapes.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with a purple hue at the rim, showing its youthful vibrancy and concentration.

Nose:
Aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries intertwine with hints of violet, garrigue, black pepper, and subtle smoky undertones from well-integrated oak aging.

Palate:
Full-bodied and rich, with lush dark fruit flavors of blackcurrant and plum. Silky tannins provide structure, while notes of licorice, black olives, and baking spices add complexity. A fresh acidity ensures balance, making it both powerful and elegant.

Finish:
Long and persistent, with lingering notes of dark berries, cracked pepper, and a touch of minerality that reflects the mountainous terroir.

Overall Impression:
A beautifully structured and expressive Rhône blend that showcases the depth and freshness of Ventoux. The 2020 Edition 1912M is approachable now but has the aging potential to develop even more complexity over the next several years.
