We were able to procure a few more cases of this gem at less than our original release pricing! The Cuvee Reservee has always been our favorite from Pegau, and while it's not their most premier bottle, it explains the estate most candidly. It's a classic example of the region made with all 13 accepted grape varietals, mainly featuring Grenache (about 80%) with Syrah and Mourvèdre sourced from clay-limestone soils with a high proportion of iron and sand. Grapes are always hand-harvested and never destemmed, seeing a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete vats before aging for two years in foudre. 2020 is an excellent vintage for CDP, and the wines show incredible power and elegance with unyeilding complexity in the case of the Cuvee Reserve. It is one of the most exhilarating examples to ever come from Pegau. 2020 should not be missed and will be one for the history books.
Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski) 96-98 points! "I was even more impressed by the 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée than the 2019. Boasting crazily complex floral scents, garrigue, raspberries and cherries, this is one incredibly perfumed example of Pegau. Medium to full-bodied, silky, elegant and long, this is quintessential Pegau."
Vinous 96 pts! The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée is one of the strongest vintages for this wine in recent history. It is magnificent, soaring from the glass with pungent aromas of crème de cassis, ripe raspberry and strawberry, cured meat, tobacco, licorice, iodine and garrigue. Full-bodied, vibrant to the core and offering a multidimensional profile, this wine is really, really good. The Féraud family and the entire team deserve a round of applause for this sublime Cuvée Réservée, which will still be kicking ass 20 years from now. (Drink between 2027 - 2046)
James Suckling 96 pts! A layered and well-balanced Chateauneuf-du-Pape with aromas of wild berries, dried herbs, leather, roasted meat and stones. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Lots of layers and poise with a restrained character on the palate, despite the generous nature of the vintage. Complex and velvety with lots of cherry character and dried herbs towards the finish. Funnelled and structured with great focus and length. Better after 2025.
