2024 Pegau - Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]

The flagship wine from one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's most traditionally-styled, benchmark estates, run by the father-daughter team of Paul and Laurence Féraud. A blend of 80% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre, and 10% other traditional varieties, hand-harvested with no destemming, fermented with native yeasts through a 12-day maceration in concrete vats, then aged 2 years in 50-hectoliter old oak foudres. Expect a dark red color with a purple body, opening with black ripe fruits like morello cherry and raspberry, juniper berry, black pepper, and garrigue, aromas that will deepen into plum, dried stone fruit, leather, fur, and sandalwood with further aging. Round, rich, and powerful on the palate with soft, well-integrated tannins. A genuine reference point for the appellation, built to evolve into a more complex, spicier wine over the next decade or more.
