Château Pesquié Terrasses Rouge

DESCRIPTION
The Terrasses cuvees are, for each colour, blends of different soils and varietals present throughout the estate. They reflect the balance and generosity of the terroir to which the cool climate of Mont Ventoux brings identity and coherence. Profoundly anchored in the Ventoux terroir, Grenache and Syrah express themselves here, with brilliance, indulgence and suppleness.

No ageing, bottled at the estate.
