| Description: | Case Price = $18.99 per bottle (add 12+ quantity to your basket). About This Wine:. Quintessence blanc is the top white cuvee of Chateau Pesquie. Produced in very small quantity (between 3 000 and 5 000 bottles), this wine is essentially a fresh and elegant Roussane expression. The Chaudiere Family wants to show with this wine that the Ventoux limestones are also a great terroir for white wines!. Tasting notes :. Color : Golden white with bright reflects. Nose : Complex nose that mixes aromas of white flowers and exotic fruits (pineapple) and spices (safran, curry) Mouth :. Ample and round. Rich and balanced in the same time, with a good freshness, saltiness, and a powerful aromatic intensity. Food & Wine pairing:. Ideal as an aperitif, gorgeous pairing with truffles, white meats, fishes, warmed pâte cheeses (comté), refined goat cheeses. Vinification:. Due to their different maturing needs, Roussanne and Clairette are, at first, fermented separately. The Clairette is pressed cold whereas the Roussanne undergoes a skin maceration before pressing and settling. Fermentation takes place in barrels for the Roussane which remained about 5 months in wood. The Clairette stays in stainless steel vats. The malolactic transformations are blocked. We then blend in concrete tanks and age for 6 months. Bottled at the Château Pesquié. Soil: Poor limestone soil located on a slope with a westerly exposure, at an altitude of around 300 meters. Grapes: 80% Roussanne - 20% Clairette (and traces of Viognier). |
