"A blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, fermented in concrete and then aged in equal parts concrete, demi-muids and barrels, Ventoux Quintessence 2022 seems to be one of the best examples I've tasted of this cuvée. On the nose, impressive aromas of blueberries are accompanied by raspberries and a touch of black olive, while the palate is full-bodied, richly concentrated and supple, with hints of licorice and mint on the long, velvety finish." (Wine Advocate 2024)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This three-generation family-run business produces a wide range of well-structured wines on some 70 hectares of land, in a modern, ambitious style that makes it one of Ventoux's "must-haves". Today managed by Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière, the vineyard features nine grape varieties grown on gravelly clay-limestone slopes at an altitude of 300 meters. The wines are vinified with tact.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
he story of this estate began in the 1970s, when the Chaudière grandparents restored the château and part of the vineyard. Paul and Edith then provided the impetus by leaving the cooperative and favoring terroir selection. Since 2000, their children Frédéric and Alexandre have overseen the destiny of this vast vineyard. We have been seduced by the stylistic shift in the wines: they have really gained in finesse and sapidity, and represent the freshness of the terroir with dignity.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 93/100
About the wine:
The nose is intense and deeply layered, where scorched earth and iodine mingle with ripe fruit and truffle aromas. The palate is harmonious, revealing fresh notes of blackberry, violet, garrigue, sage and a touch of cocoa powder. A granitic minerality defines the finish, softened by gentle acidity. This wine is a natural match for roasted or braised meats.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 94/100
About the wine:
Ventoux Quintessence 2022 is a classic Syrah with aromas of ripe, juicy red fruit, peppery herbs, violets and chalky minerality. This is a medium- to full-bodied red wine with fine tannins and a supple, complex and elegant palate.
