Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee - 2018 (750ml) Santa Barbara spellbinding BarsacThe Cuve Rserve 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. While it drinks beautifully young, it will improve through 2040 at least. #34 Top 100 Cellar Selections 2022 Wine
