Lot #430. Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée 2007

Description: Consists of 3 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 RP.
"The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee . . . is a brilliant effort that ranks alongside the colossal 2003 Cuvee Reservee. A blend of approximately 85% Grenache, 8-9% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and other varietals from 50-100+ year old vines aged in foudre, it exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of beef blood, grilled herbs, barbecue smoke, lavender, sweet cassis and kirsch and a hint of Asian soy. The wine possesses a fabulous texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a seamless integration of tannin, acidity and alcohol . . . . With extraordinary texture and unctuosity, this remarkable effort should drink well for 20+ years yet be very appealing in its youth given the glycerin, velvety texture, and remarkable complexity." Wine Advocate #191, Feb 2010
Provenance: The Mode Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $225
