"A blend of 75% Syrah and 15% Grenache, Artemia 2018 is aged in wood, 40% of which is new. This cuvée is largely unstemmed, and always presents itself as the most northerly of the range. An Hermitage-like bouquet of smoky black fruits, smoked meat, violets, ground pepper and bacon fat gives way to a medium- to full-bodied, elegant and harmonious red with ample fruit, ripe tannins and a lovely finish. This is definitely an exceptional wine." (Jeb Dunnuck)

Ventoux
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain 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.

About the domain :
Acquired in 1970 by Odette and René Bastide, this vast 100-hectare estate, with its consistent quality, has been run since 2003 by the third generation (Frédéric and Alexandre Chaudière). The entire vineyard is certified organic and in the process of being converted to biodynamic viticulture.

Rated (2020 guide) 92-94/100 (Wonderful wine)
Domain rated (guide 2021) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the wine:
Impressive potential blend from equal parts barriques, demi-muids and vats. Artemia 2018 presents exuberant cherry and blueberry notes accented by assertive cracked pepper. It's full-bodied, creamy and lush, then firms just enough on the finish to think it'll have a decade of longevity.

Wine rated (2021 guide) 91/100
Domain rated (guide 2023) Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the wine:
A nose of lovely primary fruit. A fresh palette. The palate is full-bodied, with quality substance, denser without being rustic. A wine that will require a little more waiting. Freshness and well-coated tannins.
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.
