Château Pesquié - Artemia 2020
Rött vin från Rhone Frankrike« Artemia är den översta cuvéen av Chateau Pesquié. Det är ett försök att visa Ventoux-terroirens fantastiska potential genom två enstaka vingårdar, en av grenache och en av syrah. Detta vin visar på samma gång stor densitet, koncentration och elegans och fräschör. Den kommer att börja visa sitt bästa efter minst fyra av fem års förvaring. Familjen Chaudière valde namnet "Artemia" eftersom det samtidigt betyder god hälsa och integritet på antikens grekiska. »

Aromas of dark plums, peppercorns, stones, black olives, dried thyme and bitter chocolate. Medium body with creamy tannins. Round and fruity with wild herbs and cherries. Flavorful finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Vegan. Drink now.

Mostly Syrah, the 2020 Ventoux Artemia reveals a Northern Rhône-like style in its darker fruits, bacon fat, leather, and iron-driven aromatics. I always find a Côte Rôtie-like style in this cuvée, and the 2020 is no exception. Medium to full-bodied and balanced, with fine tannins, enjoy bottles over the coming 10-15 years. This cuvée is mostly Syrah from higher elevation, cooler, gravelly limestone soils.

[vintage 2019]
The 2019 Ventoux Artemia is a 75-25 blend of Syrah and Grenache, matured in equal portions of barriques, demi-muids and concrete tanks. From a high-elevation plateau of gravelly limestone, it's a more northern style of Syrah, with floral and herbal notes on the nose and hints of cracked pepper. Medium-bodied, it's fresh and zesty, yet with firm tannins and savory black olives on the long finish.
Château Pesquié is one of the great estates of the Ventoux, and thanks to the indefatigable efforts of Frédéric Chaudière, the wines are widely distributed around the globe. For many consumers, this this be the entry point to Ventoux, so it's important that the wines represent the region well—thankfully, they do. With Frédéric recently being elected head of the appellation, expect more visibility for this underrated region. While Fred is the globetrotting marketer, his brother Alexandre handles the viticulture and winemaking at the estate, whose impressive chateau nestles in the bucolic countryside above the small village of Mormoiron.
This year, because of COVID-related travel restrictions, we chatted via video link instead of at the property. Fred is high on the quality of the 2019s, calling the year,
Château Pesquié - Artemia 2020
Description
Artemia is the top cuvée of Chateau Pesquié. It is an attempt to show the amazing potential of the Ventoux terroir through two single vineyards, one of grenache and one of syrah. This wine shows in the same time great density, concentration and elegance and freshness. It will start showing its best after at least four of five years of keeping. The Chaudière family chose the name "Artemia" as it means in the same time good health and integrity in ancient Greek.
Soil
The Grenache parcel is one of the most elevated of the estate, south – south east oriented, on a very pebbly lime-stones soil that has an amphitheater shape. The Syrah parcel is at about 340 meters, south – west oriented, on a very old alluvion soil.
Grapes
50 % Syrah (yields of about 25 hl / ha) 50 % Grenache (yields of about 20 hl / ha).
Vinification
The grapes are picked at an optimal maturity beginning of October, drastically selected and destemmed. Long fermentation and maceration in an oak tank. Malolactic fermentation in barrels. Aged 18 months in barrels 50% new and 50% of second and third year with a selection of very tight grains and deep but light toasting. Bottled at the Château.
