Description

The Domaine du Pegau Cuvée Réservée Châteauneuf-du-Pape Magnum 1.5L 2010 is a stunning vintage from Laurence, featuring the classic aromas and flavours of ripe dark fruits, garrigue, cured meats, tobacco leaf, saddle leather, and hints of game that Pegau is known for. The magnum bottle size, which holds 1.5 litres of wine, not only looks impressive but also offers benefits to the wine itself.

The larger bottle size allows for a slower and more controlled aging process, resulting in a more balanced and nuanced wine. It also reduces the amount of air exposure and oxidation, preserving the wine's freshness and intensity. The magnum size is a popular choice among wine collectors and enthusiasts, as it is known to enhance the wine's aging potential and create a memorable experience when shared with friends and loved ones.

Overall, the Domaine du Pegau Cuvée Réservée Châteauneuf-du-Pape Magnum 1.5L 2010 is a must-have for any wine connoisseur's cellar. Its seamless, layered profile on the palate, sweet yet substantial tannins, and blockbuster finish make it a true masterpiece from the southern France region.

Review

The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee, which I tasted from several foudres, is essentially equivalent in quality, but it has not yet been bottled. If I understood Paul Feraud correctly, he tends to prefer the 2009, but says Laurence prefers the 2010. In any event, this is one of those “pick’em” dilemmas. The 2010 is a fabulous wine of exceptional intensity, tremendous flavor authority, and full-bodied power. It is slightly more reserved than the more flamboyant 2009, but of course, it is still in foudre. Very rich with lots of Provencal herb, smoky, meaty, kirsch, black currant, and blackberry notes, it is a stunningly viscous, thick, and rich effort with a slightly more vibrant finish. This magnificent Chateauneuf du Pape should age for three decades or more based on how well the 1989 and 1990 are maturing. This 2010 should be bottled early next year and released
