Le Paradou Cinsault

Le Paradou is easy to pair with many simple and light dishes: summer salad, charcuterie, pizza, grilled white meats or spaghettis Bolognese…

The grapes are coming from clay and lime-stone soils and sandy soils, at an altitude between 200 and 300 meters (650 to 1000 ft).

The grapes are destemmed and placed in concrete vats for about 15 days, with a very gentle extraction. No oak or wood at all for this cuvee. Bottled by Famille Chaudière.

Chateau Pesquié is the story of three generations of passionate winemakers. Odette and René Bastide, took over the vineyard in the beginning of the 1970’s and restructured a large part of it. They used to bring their grapes to the local Cooperative. Edith and Paul Chaudière, René & Odette’s daughter and son-in-law, decided to give up their medical careers to take over the family estate in 1985. They traveled in many wine regions (in France, Spain, Germany, the US, etc.), became sommeliers and worked on terroir selection... This led them to create their own winery in 1990, first vintage of Château Pesquié. By then, it was one of 10 independent wineries: there are now more than 120. Fred and Alex Chaudière, the two sons of Edith & Paul, have taken over gradually since 2003 with the firm objective to take it to the next level and show the world how amazing the Ventoux terroir is!
