Domaine Pesquié — Winery in Mormoiron

You drive onto the estate along a monumental avenue of three-hundred-year-old plane trees, and you immediately understand why the Chaudière family has stayed here for fifty years. In a green, quiet valley at the foot of the southern slopes of Mont Ventoux, surrounded by views you won't soon forget. Robert Parker and Jeb Dunnuck consistently give 90+ points. AOC Ventoux was long underrated; Château Pesquié has been proving for years that the region punches above its weight. A wine trail through the vineyards is freely accessible: a walk of about 45 minutes past 14 information points with views of Mont Ventoux. Cellar tour + tasting: a self-guided outdoor walk followed by a guided tour of the cellar and fermentation room, and then a tasting of 5 to 7 wines. Picnic in the château garden: a picnic basket full of regional produce and Pesquié wine, eaten outside in the garden with the family château as a backdrop. Children can play in the garden while the adults rest in the shade of the plane trees: a real family experience. Truffle meal: by reservation in season, a lunch with truffles from the region and wines from the estate. A day with the winemaker: in September and October you can experience the harvest with Paul Chaudière.
