"The true jewel in the crown of the estate"

"This deep purple wine has a remarkable nose of bright black and blue fruits, violet, ground pepper, and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied to full-bodied, pure and concentrated, with good purity, ripe and well-structured tannins, and an excellent finish." (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

Wine rated 91/100

Rated estate (2022 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About wine:

Crystal clear, well-balanced, full-bodied, with beautiful almond notes and a delightful tension. Proof of the quality of this estate's terroirs.

About the estate:

This family-run estate, now in its third generation, produces a wide range of structured wines on some 70 hectares, in a modern and ambitious style that places them among the must-haves of Ventoux. Now managed by Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière, the vineyard has nine grape varieties grown on clay-limestone slopes at an altitude of 300 meters. The wines are vinified with great care.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 90/100

Rated estate (2023 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About wine:

This wine brings out a peppery, violet Syrah, with a more northern than southern character. The nose is delicious with a juicy definition. The palate follows the same profile with a texture that seems well managed in terms of extraction. The tannins are more prominent on the finish than in the 2020 vintage, but overall it is easy to drink given the cool conditions of this vintage.

About the estate:

The history of this estate began in the 1970s, when the Chaudière grandparents restored the château and part of the vineyard. Paul and Edith then gave it new impetus by leaving the cooperative and focusing on terroir selection. Since 2000, their sons Frédéric and Alexandre have been overseeing the destiny of this vast vineyard. We are impressed by the stylistic shift in the wines: they have really gained in finesse and flavor, and are a worthy representation of the freshness of the terroir.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 91/100

About wine:

The nose of plum, redcurrant, cherry, toasted herbs, leather, and black olive lingers on the palate, which is full-bodied with silky tannins. Ample and generous, it has a creamy core of red fruit and spices. Enjoy now or cellar.
