La Tulipe Rouge
Initially reduced with notes of pastry, the nose then reveals yellow fruit and pineapple before ample, concentrated substance shows in the mouth. Well defined, this holds well into the finish, making for a complex style suited to poultry or fish in sauce.
Gismondi on Wine
It’s year 32 for Quintessence Rouge, a label highlighting the notion of exception and concentration that goes into this cuvée. 2021 was a softer, easier year in the Rhone, but at Ventoux, the crop was hit by frost, and while the yields were down, the grapes that survived came to the winery with acceptable intensity and concentration. Like the ’19, you get power with balance and a welcomed freshness. Look for a spread of black fruits and olives with some toasted oak and that Rhone spice or garrigue originating in the wild scrublands. Think Osso Buco, duck confit or Tandori chicken. A single vineyard 80/20 blend of syrah/grenache from selected plots of 50+-year-old, south-facing vines gives this wine all the gravitas it needs. Post-fermentation, the blend is aged twelve to fifteen months in barrels (40% in new oak). It is a fine example of how a southern Rhone, at altitude, can give off some northern Rhone notes, namely acidity (minerality, freshness and florals). (Anthony Gismondi).

The 2021 Ventoux Quintessence suffers in comparison with the vintages on either side of it. Scents of roasted meat, warm asphalt and black olive mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is sturdy and tannic but without the genuine depth of fruit behind it to age a long time. Drink it with something that will help counteract the tannins.
The accompanying wine reviews include notes taken over the past couple of years, either during visits to the region, or—on one occasion—when I met in the United States with the property's long-term American importer, Eric Solomon. Pesquié is one of Ventoux's benchmark estates, consistently turning out wines that for many years were great values. Now, the Chaudière family is making even greater strides in their pursuit of quality. The Château Pesquié wines are certified organic, while the Le Paradou line of Vin de France wines are not. As in the rest of the Rhône, the 2021 vintage is easily eclipsed by the 2020 and 2022 vintages, but it shouldn't be discounted entirely.

The 2021 Ventoux Quintessence is 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache brought up in 30% concrete and 70% barrel, with roughly 20% in new wood. This deep purple-hued effort has a great nose of bright black and blue fruits, violets, ground pepper, and crushed stone. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, pure, concentrated Syrah with good purity, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish.
