The vineyard from which this Côtes de Provence comes to life is located in Aix-en-Provence, at the foot of the Sainte Victoire mountain, immortalized by the painter Cézanne in over 70 paintings. The vines are grown on soils of calcareous origin and clayey red sands located at an average altitude 300 meters above sea level.

The harvest takes place manually, in the early hours of the morning. The clusters are cooled before undergoing soft pressing. The free run must is kept at a low temperature for clarification. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 14 ° C. The wine is then racked and filtered.

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!
