The estate of Chateau Pesquié lies in the southeastern region of the Rhône Valley at the base of Mont Ventoux. The vineyards of the winery remain situated between the Mediterranean and the Alps. They enjoy the excellent microclimate of the area with a perfect balance and influence of the altitude, winds, and temperature. They provide suitable and desirable finesse to the produced wines. Additionally, the workers of the vineyards practice an organic system of viticulture. They do so to ensure that they do not harm nature.

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!
