Domaine Du Pegau Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2018

€112.00

Wine Enthusiast 97/100

The Cuvée Réservée is Pegau’s crown jewel, a profoundly ripe yet deeply nuanced wine made from a Grenache-dominant blend of 13 regional red grape varieties. Vinified entirely in whole bunches and matured in large 2-year-old oak casks, its black plum and cherry are sonorous and piercing, accented by whiffs of black pepper, leather and sage.

92-95 / 100 – WINE ADVOCATE (ROBERT PARKER)

The 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée is full-bodied but quite approachable and easy to drink, loaded with black cherries and plummy fruit and tinged with licorice. A blend of 80% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 10% other permitted varieties, it finishes long and silky.”

Description

Dark red with a purple body.

Black ripe fruits like morello cherries and raspberries, juniper berries, black pepper, and garrigue. After several years of ageing, the aromas will be characterized by plums, dried stone fruits, leather, fur, and sandalwood.

Round, rich, and powerful with soft tannins. With time, I will involved in a more complex and spicy wine.

Red grilled meat, lamb shoulder with thyme, and dishes of tapas and curry.
