Le Paradou Grenache

Le Paradou is a project created by Alexandre and Frédéric Chaudière whose family produce some of the most respected wines in the Ventoux at Château Pesquié. “Paradou” actually refers to the old watermills that once dotted the landscape. The Paradou vineyards are at higher elevations and planted on poor clay-limestone or sandy soils. This guarantees the freshest and most drinkable wines possible. Grenache is the workhorse variety of the South of France making up the majority of plantings in the famous appellations of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, and Vacqueyras. The Chaudière brothers seek to capture this more aromatic and refreshing style of Grenache with Le Paradou, a red-fruited Grenache fermented and aged in concrete to preserve its aromatic charms and crunchy fruit flavors.
