Château Pesquié Quintessence Rouge Côtes du Rhône Villages AOC

Côtes du Rhône Villages AOC, France

From organically farmed parcels on the eastern slopes below Mont Ventoux, Quintessence blends old-vine Grenache with structured Syrah and savoury Mourvèdre. Deep ruby with aromas of wild cherry, thyme, black olive, and balsamic spice. The palate is structured with silky tannins, a core of dark fruit, and a mineral, herbal finish typical of the Ventoux foothills.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Southern Rhône Grenache-Mourvèdre blends are the canonical partner for Provençal beef stews; the wine's herbs and dark fruit mirror the braise
• main: The wine's garrigue herbs and warm spice character are naturally aligned with North African-influenced lamb preparations
• main: Grenache's sun-baked fruit character mirrors the caramelised sweetness of slow-roasted Mediterranean vegetables
