Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe Cuvée Réservée 2010 Frankreich Rhone Rotwein

Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe Cuvée Réservée 2010 Frankreich Rhone Rotwein. Kultweingut aus den Rhonetal! Reife dunkle Früchte, Tabak, Grafit, Sattelleder, würzige Aromen und einen seidigen, geschliffenen Abgang. Enorme Konzentration, dunkel und dicht aber gleichzeitig ausbalanciert und nobel ... das ist ein wirkliches Erlebnis aus dem Rhonetal! 80% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre und 10% andere Rebsorten. Trinkreife: 2016 bis 2030.

Looking at the 2010s and a brilliant vintage for Laurence, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape offers up classic Pegau aromas and flavors of ripe dark fruits, garrigue, cured meats, tobacco leaf, saddle leather and hints of game. Full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, it offers a seamless, layered profile on the palate with thrilling mid-palate depth, sweet, yet substantial tannin, and a blockbuster finish that stays fresh and beautifully focused. Quite polished by this estates standards, it nevertheless screams southern France and I doubt it’s possible to have too much of this beauty in the cellar. It will absolutely thrill over the coming 2-3 decades. This classic, benchmark estate for traditionally made wines is run by the talented, no-nonsense Laurence Feraud and her father Paul. While I struggle to think of a bad vintage here, 2010 certainly has to rank near the top of the heap and both the Cuvee Reservee and Cuvee da Capo are truly stunning, world-class efforts.
