"In 2020, Les Terrasses seduces with its immediate fruitiness" (Le Guide RVF 2023). This red wine is a fine introduction, offering intense notes of fresh fruit and fairly peppery spices. Balanced, the palate combines freshness and round tannins tannins with aromas of red fruit, floral notes and hints of garrigue. A sure bet!

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 wine:
In 2020, Les Terrasses seduces with its immediate fruitiness.
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.

Beautiful tannic structure, but round. Nose and palate of macerated fruit, not too powerful. A fine reference.
