Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee 2021 Domaine du Pegau

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (94)

Scents of leather, violets, cherries and strawberries mark the nose of the 2021 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée, tasted as a representative assemblage from several foudres. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky but firm, with a long, slightly tannic finish.

Vinous (94)

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée is slightly reductive. After some time in the glass, it unveils predominantly red fruit aromatics, dried herbs and a dash of white pepper. Not as powerful as either the 2020 or 2019, but packed with ample finesse and beautifully layered. It is a full-bodied, neatly structured offering with a bright finish.

Winespectator (93)

Bold, rich and fresh, this shows up-front juicy red apple, apricot and melted honey wrapped around a spine of bitter orange pith and firming mineral. Very distinctive and well-formed, with great definition through the energetic finish. Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Bourboulenc.
