Description:
The 2012 Ventoux Le Paradou Grenache is an awesome value! Made from 100% Grenache (75-year-old vines) and aged 7 months in concrete tank, it offers up a naked expression of Grenache with meaty black cherry, pepper, dried Provencal herbs and earth all soaring from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, brilliantly pure and fresh, it has enough tannin to allow it to evolve gracefully.

Chateau Pesquie
Pesquie's red wines were highly graded by Wine Advocate, even commended as "Incredible value and no-brainer". Chateau Pesquie is a family estate located at the foot of the Ventoux Mountain, in the south of the Rhone Valley, gathering three generations of winemakers. The history of Chateau Pesquie is the family tradition to harness the potential of the outstanding Ventoux terrior to make extraordinary wines. The terroir has a great mineral diversity, predominantly consisting of limestone, which gives a great complexity to the wines. The complexity of the wines is also a consequence of the numerous varietals of its vineyards. The tradition of blending is a key in Chateau Pesquie.
