About the Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Reservee 2019
The 2019 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée is a sensational, powerfully concentrated, and classically styled French red wine from an exceptional, high-scoring vintage. It pours a deep, dark ruby-purple colour in the glass, immediately releasing a highly aromatic bouquet of black raspberries, ripe dark plum, and kirsch, intricately woven with layers of iron ore, tapenade, smoked game, and wild lavender garrigue. On the palate, this full-bodied wine is rich, multi-dimensional, and fruit-forward, delivering a massive, velvety core of succulent dark stone fruits, crushed black pepper, and licorice. Patiently aged for up to two years in traditional oak foudres, it flawlessly balances its muscular structure with a vibrant, tongue-tingling acidity and a heavy framework of firm, building tannins, gliding into a monumental, dry, and intensely savoury finish.
Food Pairing: Perfectly pairs with roasted leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, slow-braised wild boar ragù, thick grilled ribeye steaks, rich venison stews, roasted duck breast, and mature cheeses like Stilton blue cheese or aged Gouda.
As I wrote previously, the 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée looks set to rival the best examples of this bottling. Made up of approximately 80% Grenache, with 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and smaller amounts of other permitted varieties, it's impressively complex on the nose, with scents of black cherries, blackberries and black olives, plus mysterious wafts of violets and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it finishes long and velvety, a sure-fire bet for cellaring. It's gratifying to see wines evolve as expected during their élevage and make it into bottle just as remembered.
96 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This youthful Chateauneuf has a very complex nose of graphite, raw meat and lilies. With aeration the black-cherry note steadily grows in intensity. Bold, leathery and earthy palate with fine tannins that build steadily on at the extremely long and straight mineral finish.
Dark and brooding, this has serious heft, with tightly coiled plum reduction and black licorice offset by savory tea, menthol, smoked meat and iodine. A great example of an old-school style, with mineral intensity building and salty iron and grippy tannins carrying the finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
