The flagship of Domaine du Pégau blends 13 varieties (primarily Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre) from pebble-, clay-, and limestone-covered soils. Aged two years in 50 hL old oak, this full-bodied wine displays spicy aromas of cassis, toasted herbs, pepper, and roasted meat, with secondary leather, licorice, black pepper, clove, and iron on the palate. A structured, velvety wine built to evolve—expect another 12 to 15 years of development in the cellar.

Antonio Galloni

"Deep ruby. Assertive aromas of black raspberry, potpourri and spicecake pick up a bright mineral nuance and a hint of cured meat with air. Juicy and impressively concentrated, showing real energy and spicy lift to the sappy red berry, bitter cherry, spicecake and floral pastille flavors. Fine-grained tannins build on the finish, adding shape and grip to lingering, spice-accented raspberry liqueur, smoked meat and licorice flavors." —Josh Raynolds

"Every year that I've tried the 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée, I've liked it better than the year before, so I've gone ahead and peremptorily added the + sign to this year's rating. Black cherries and licorice pick up a hint of chocolate in this full-bodied, rich, velvety wine that should evolve nicely for at least 12-15 years." —Joe Czerwinski

Wine Spectator

96 points

"A singed chestnut accent leads off here, followed by a sappy core of steeped cherry, raspberry and plum fruit, infused liberally with tobacco, brick dust and garrigue notes. Reveals a brawny edge, but there’s ample fruit in the end. A rock-solid old-school style that should cruise in the cellar."

Wine Enthusiast

"Inflections of violet and rose petal mingle into crushed earth and dried mushroom in this deeply complex red. Black cherry and black-currant flavors are profoundly ripe but muted by shades of leather, fur and garrigue. A nuanced, deeply satisfying wine, it offers both concentrated ripeness and old-world restraint."
