Un vin sudiste, charmeur, avec des notes de garrigue, de figue, de prune, mais il y a un côté assez prononcé d’écurie ou d’etable qui m’empêche de pleinement l’apprécier. Laurence l’a préféré à moi — 5 years ago

Such a beautiful, fruity, spicy, earthy, savory, gamy, Southern Rhône blend from Château Pégau... 🍇 🍷

I love that this wine represents a free expression from the winemaker, who pursued this wine in an unrestricted manner (it’s a Vin de France), given the vineyard location and blends of varieties and vintages involved. It’s made organically.

It’s a non-classified wine which opens the door to creativity and ingenuity. The winemaker @laurenceferaud referred to this wine as a “little brother” of #chateauneufdupape and my goodness I adore it 🥰 👏👏👏

I bought this wine at @sunfishcellars and attended the wine tasting with winemakers Laurence Feraud and @justineferaud moderated by @hoythill2011 🙏🙏🙏

Plan Pégau, Red Blend, including Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, among others. Vintages include 2014-16.
ABV 14.5%.

Available @sunfishcellars for $19.99. — 5 years ago

Popped and poured; consumed over an hour. The 2018 Nostros Blend is an interesting combination of Rhône varieties. A GSM with a touch of Roussanne. The wine pours a deep garnet color with medium+ viscosity; faint staining of tears. On the nose, a combination of ripe and stewed red, black and blue fruits, oiled leather ball glove, black pepper, olive tapenade, salmiakki, tomato leaf, dry rocky minerals and just a hint of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium (+?) tannin, medium acid. Alcohol is medium + but comes across a touch hot. Finish is long and spicy. My favorite red so far from Manousakis. Should drink well through the end of the decade. I can sense Laurence Féraud’s hand on this ❤️ — 2 years ago

Medium garnet in color, this iconic red Châteauneuf-du-Pape has developed brilliantly since I first tasted it from barrel with winemaker Laurence Feraud. Well defined, pronouned aromas of raspberry and strawberry marmalade, cooked red cherries, dried herbs, charred wood, licorice, earth, mushrooms and iodine are bursting from the glass. Full bodied, concentrated and extremely dense, the 2007 Da Capo closes with a long, slightly alcoholic finish. It has probably reached it‘s peak by now, but will likely stay there for another decade. Drink now or until 2034. — 3 years ago

14,8% di Alcol
22 g/l zucchero residuo
6 g/l acidità totale

Pinot Grigio solidissimo
con potenziale di invecchiamento decennale
(berlo adesso é stato prematuro)
anche perché l'annata 2017 é definita la migliore dal dopoguerra in Alsazia.

L'alcol sovrasta nettamente la dolcezza che resta molto equilibrata.
Lunghezza e acidità danno solidità a un corpo contraddistinto da frutta matura a pasta gialla.

Grandissimo vino, ma da attendere ancora a lungo perché trovi un perfetto equilibrio. — 5 years ago
