Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2016
JD95-97 -- WS96 -- WA93-95 -- CT94.4
First come, first served...we bought all we could, but you know how that goes….
PEGAU. I clearly remember my first taste of Pegau from a great vintage (like 2016 is) -- the 1990. I’d never had such a serious, wildly complex, soulful Chateauneuf. That wine is STILL singing today and the 2016 will be a COVETED bottle in your cellar in the future. AT THIS PRICE?? I’d buy all you can. Just think how you’ll be patting yourself on the back in a decade!!
HERE is a good article from Wine spec on Pegau and Laurence’s philosophy, if you’d like to dig a bit deeper...it’s no exaggeration that this vintage is one of the greatest in at least a decade --- if you buy one, buy THIS! MAGNUMS, too -- so cool!
First come, first served!
