Château Pesquié Château Pesquié Quintessence White 2022 750ml

Based on 80% Roussanne and 20% Clairette, the 2022 Ventoux Quintessence Blanc is raised in a mix of demi-muids and barrels, with a tiny portion being new. It has a beautiful nose of ripe orchard fruits (pear, sliced apples) as well as subtle white flowers and chalky minerality. Medium-bodied and concentrated, with a beautiful spine of acidity, it’s a gorgeous white from this team that will shine on the dinner table. (Jeb Dunnuck)

An 80-20 blend of Roussanne and Clairette, the 2022 Ventoux Quintessence Blanc was bottled in May 2023 after aging in a mix of concrete and demi-muids. There’s a hint of sweet corn on the nose, then more appealing notes of white peach and lime zest. In the mouth, the wine is medium to full-bodied, plump and welcoming, but it’s still focused and long on the finish. (Joe Czerwinski)
