In the early 1970’s, Odette & Rene Bastide bought Chateau Pesquie from an heir of a famous Provencal writer, Alphonse Daudet.

Since then, they are recognized as one of the pioneers in the Ventoux region, putting a constant research and tremendous effort in making top quality wines.

Despite a long vine growing tradition in the area, the AOC Cotes du Ventoux was not created until 1973. Thus making them pioneers of this new AOC. Rene & Odette largely restructured the vineyards. Currently, Alex and Fred their sons inherited the chateau and have managed the winery as one of the best in the region.
