"The 'blouge,' a co-fermentation of red and white grape varieties, by Pesquié"

WHAT IS "BLOUGE"? (RVF article, July 2025)

Somewhere between a light red, a white wine, and a rosé, let yourself be charmed by the Tandem cuvée. A unique blend resulting from the co-fermentation of black Grenache and white Grenache, creating a sparkling and highly expressive wine. Its clear, pale ruby color gives way to a very expressive and open nose, with tangy notes of strawberry and raspberry, along with a hint of floral and spice. On the palate, it is dense and structured, yet refined and balanced with lovely acidity. A little fruit bomb, with a touch of grenadine and a hint of pepper. A juicy wine with subtle, elegant tannins, perfect for delightful aperitifs.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 92+/100 (Outstanding wine)

Rated estate (2021 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2023 Ventoux Tandem is the result of an unconventional co-fermentation of Grenache Noir and a small proportion of Grenache Blanc, sourced from cooler vineyards on limestone soils. It opens with aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, crushed herbs, and subtle floral notes. Medium-bodied and taut, it centers on a vibrant core of red fruit, with fine, powdery tannins and lively acidity that lend the wine energy and elegance. Focused more on finesse than power, this is a precise, subtly original wine that will drink well upon release and for the next 5 to 10 years.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

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 set the course by leaving the cooperative and focusing on terroir selection. Since 2000, their sons, Frédéric and Alexandre, have been steering the future of this vast vineyard. We are captivated by the stylistic shift in the wines: they have truly gained in finesse and flavor, and beautifully reflect the freshness of the terroir.

About the wine:

A unique blend of red and white Grenache, the 2023 Ventoux Tandem features a medium, translucent ruby color, with an intriguing nose of ripe red cherries, white flowers, and subtle mineral notes. Composed of 70% Grenache and 30% Grenache Blanc, aged in concrete tanks, it is medium-bodied, with a pure, complex, and elegant palate, excellent overall balance, and exceptional length.
