To enhance this dish: red Ventoux AOC

Tahini, tahin, tahina, tehina or tehine is a sesame cream. This oriental preparation made from crushed sesame seeds is used in hummus, which is better known, but also on skewers or kebabs.

Grilled poultry goes well with a well-balanced and fragrant red wine. Our experts suggest the Ventoux appellation.

These are supple and light wines. With their light ruby colour, they give off a whole bouquet of aromas confirmed on the palate by a rich and nuanced taste.

So as not to mislead you, here is a cuvée which does justice to the wines of the appellation:

les terrasses - château pesquie

A delight with its aromas of fresh fruit and peppery spices. On the palate, the balance between freshness and roundness is superb! The finish, with its beautiful amplitude and concentration, is reminiscent of the nose, with fruity and spicy notes.

Here is a fleshy and fruity red wine that we like to bring out for barbecues under the arbour... A must-try!

chateau pesquié

Château pesquié, a flagship estate of Rhône

A family adventure spanning three generations... In the early 1970s, Odette and René Bastide bought Château Pesquié to create their first Ventoux AOC in 1973. In the mid-1980s, Edith & Paul, daughter and son-in-law of René & Odette, decided to abandon their medical careers to take over the family business. After acquiring numerous diplomas, they brought real added value!

In 1989 the quartet finally decided to leave the local cooperative to create the Château Pesquié cellar and make their first wine on a fabulous vintage! 1990! The birth of "Quintessence"! Even today, if you have the chance to taste it, you will be surprised by its freshness!!

Since 2003, Paul and Edith's two sons, Alexandre and Frédéric, have taken up the torch and continue with the same concern for the expression of the Ventoux terroir. Today, Château Pesquié is one of the leading estates in the appellation and in Southern Rhône, and this generation intends to keep the "Sacred Fire" burning...
