Chateau Pesquie - Artemia 2018
Price: $55.99
Sale Price: $37.99
Artemia is the top cuvée of Chateau Pesquié. It is an attempt to show the amazing potential of the Ventoux terroir through two single vineyards, one of grenache and one of syrah. This wine shows in the same time great density, concentration and elegance and freshness. It will start showing its best after at least four of five years of keeping. The Chaudière family chose the name "Artemia" as it means in the same time good health and integrity in ancient Greek.
Decanter: 96 Points
"Exotic, smoky nose of black olive and earthy redcurrant, then on to a plush palate graced with blackberry, clove, spice and a silky acidity."
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
"This biodynamically farmed, single-vineyard blend of Syrah (75%) and Grenache (25%) offsets rich, spicy flavors of plum pudding and black figs against veins of crushed earth, granite and ore. It's a vibrant yet svelte red, supple in mouthfeel and tannins. Ready now, the wine should improve through 2028 and hold further."
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
"Impressive as a prospective blend taken from equal proportions of barriques, demi-muids and tanks, the 2018 Ventoux Artemia boasts exuberant notes of cherries and blueberries accented by assertive notes of cracked pepper. It's full-bodied, creamy and lush, then firms up just enough on the finish to think it will have a decade of longevity. Rating:"
Jeb Dunnuck: 91-93 Points
"A blend of 75% Syrah and 15% Grenache, the 2018 Ventoux Artemia was brought up in all in wood, 40% being new. This cuvée is mostly not destemmed and always seems to be the more Northern Rhône in the lineup. A Hermitage-like bouquet of smoked black fruits, smoked meat, violets, ground pepper, and bacon fat gives way to a medium to full-bodied, elegant, seamless red that has ample fruit, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s certainly an outstanding wine and I suspect will keep nicely for 10-12 years."
