Product Notes

Domaine du Pegau Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Reservée is a sophisticated, full-bodied French wine, heralding from the southern Rhône valley. This sumptuous blend, predominantly Grenache, exudes opulent notes of ripe, dark fruit, punctuated by intriguing undercurrents of earthy truffle and fragrant hints of lavender. A charming play between savoury and sweet, its layered complexity is enhanced by subtle oak undertones and a generous, lasting finish. Perfectly balanced with restrained power, it's a harmonious symphony in a bottle. A true expression of its terroir, it stands as testament to the Domaine du Pegau's exceptional craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

Complex, oozing character and terroir. Robust and powerful but not too full throttle, there is a certain charm and elegance at play. Ripe but juicy and fresh - reflecting the uniform, even ripening season. Lush velvety tannins provide the structure for the ripe berry fruit, cherry liqueur, sandalwood, pepper and garrigue notes. Utterly compelling.
