RP-95
Pegau’s distinctive violet and garrigue aromas are on full display in the 2017 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée, backed by plummy fruit and velvety tannins. It’s medium to full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with ample length and hints of mocha and licorice on the finish. Not as sexy out of the gate as some vintages, I’d give it another year or two in the cellar, then drink it over the next decade or so.
The bottled cuvées available to taste this summer included three white wines and only a single red. That’s OK by this taster, as I think Laurence Feraud is producing some of the most compelling white wines in Châteauneuf du Pape. The 2019 Cuvée Réservée (white) may be her best one yet.
