Château Pesquié Terrasses Blanc, Ventoux, Rhône Valley

Region | Southern Rhône Valley
Rating | 90/100 Robert Parker
 
The estate | The Pesquié style is elegant and fresh, taking its force from the unique, elevated terroir of Mont Ventoux and the sincere passion of its winegrowers. Its cuvees in red, white and rosé are adapted to any occasion: fresh and light "pleasure wines", more complex and concentrated wines and, for special moments, the parcellary cuvees made with grapes from the best terroirs.
 
The description | A typically “Ventoux” cuvée, Terrasses blanc is the very fresh blend of the great two varieties of the Northern Rhone (Viognier and Roussanne) with the great two varieties of the Sourthern Rhone (Clairette et Grenache). Color : limpid color with silver reflections. Nose : white flowers and citrus aromas with lime notes. Mouth : Beautiful tension and freshness with citrus aromas (lemon zest and grape fruit), exotic fruits (litchees) and white fruits (green apple). 
 
Food pairing | Quinoa salad with grilled vegetables, spinach and goat cheese tart, wild mushroom risotto, red fruit crumble.
