Chateau Pesquie
RP - Easily one of
my favourite estates from the up-and-coming Ventoux region, Chateau
Pesquie is run by the talented brothers, Alexandre & Frederic Chaudiere.
The wines sell for a song, yet always deliver high-quality, loads of
character and impeccably made profiles. |

Cuvee Artemia Rouge
Cotes du Ventoux
Chateau Pesquie
RP/Jeb Dunnuck -
Shockingly good, the 2009
Cotes du Ventoux Cuvee Artemia is in the top handful of wines I've
tasted from this appellation. Just insanely perfumed, with tons of
incense, Provencal herbs, garrigue, smoked meats and violets, this
full-bodied beauty has a stacked mid-palate, building, sweet tannin and
a killer finish. Hello beautiful, why didn't I buy more of you. |

Prestige Rouge
Chateau Puech-Haut
JebDunnuck.com -
The 2016 Prestige is made from 55% Grenache and
45% Syrah that’s from 65- to 80-year-old vines aged all in concrete
tanks. It's a huge, opulent, sexpot of a wine that offers crazy good
notes of black licorice, roasted herbs, peppered meats, and ripe, black
and hints of blue fruits. While this is no doubt a big, rich wine, it
has remarkable elegance and purity, and is the finest vintage I’ve
tasted to date. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years. This cuvée was
first made in 2009 by owner Gerard Bru, consultant Philippe Cambie, and
Eric Solomon, and it has knocked it out of the park in every vintage to
date. |

Pic St Loup, La Closerie du Pic
Chateau Puech-Haut
RP/Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2015 Pic Saint Loup La Closerie Du Pic is certainly one of the
gems in this terrific vintage.
Its vibrant purple colour is followed by sensational notes of black
raspberries, toasted spice, cassis and even a hint of bacon fat. With
medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless texture, integrated acidity
and a blockbuster finish, drink this straight up fabulous Pic Saint
Loup anytime over the coming 7-8 years. Hats off to the team at
Puech-Haut, and consultant Philippe Cambie, for this sensational wine! |

Gigondas
'Confidentiel'
Domaine Montirius
RP/Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2015 Gigondas Confidentiel is the smallest
production cuvee and is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre brought up all in
concrete. It has beautiful purity in its ripe plum and blackberry
fruits, violets and mint aromatics. These give way to a medium to
full-bodied, rounded and beautifully textured Gigondas that will
benefit from a year or two in bottle and keep for a decade. |

Gigondas
'Tradition'
Santa Duc
RP -
The 2009 Gigondas Tradition,
a blend of 75% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre and the rest Syrah and Cinsault,
tips the scales at about 16% alcohol, so there’s nothing wimpy about this
wine. Loads of blueberry, smoky blackberry, kirsch, licorice and hints of
toast and earth all make an appearance in this voluptuously styled,
evolved wine, which is already drinking beautifully. This wine has low
acidity and velvety tannins, so there’s no need to wait to enjoy this
gorgeous red, which is drinking well now and should continue to do so
for at least another 10-12 years. |

Gigondas
'Tradition'
Santa Duc
RP -
The 2007 Gigondas Tradition,
a 3,000-case cuvee, is a big-time sleeper of the vintage and well-worth
latching onto, since its availability is very good. Dense purple to the
rim, with an exquisite nose of charcoal, blueberry and blackberry fruit,
chalk, and floral notes, the wine is rich, full-bodied, with
sensational concentration, admirable purity, and beautiful texture and
length. The wine is still young and unevolved, but it is very
accessible. The acids buttress the wine’s substance, and give it
vibrancy and focus. |
