Another outstanding vintage of Pegau’s LONE Côtes du Rhône white. Blend of Clairette (40%), Bourboulenc (30%), Grenache Blanc (20%) and Ugni Blanc (10%). Silvery/Golden color. Forward aromas and flavors of minerals, chalk, white flowers, grassy herbs and green apples. Not overly fruit forward but intense, fresh tasting, driven and pleasantly funky. Full bodied with no evidence (unless very neutral) of oak aging. Beautiful texture and mouthfeel. I think this wine often gets overshadowed by the white Chateneuf du Pape blends from neighboring villages. Exceptional value. Simply terrific! — 2 months ago
Redfruits, nice acid lifts this, fully mature and is super clean compared to the gamey/leathery/slightly funky 1999 Pegau CdP, but lacks the depth or flavor interest or sheer complexity of the Pegau!! — 5 months ago
Deep, dark fruit compote. Slightly bretty, barnyard quality.

Popped and poured. The 2021 “Cuvée Réservée” pours a deep ruby color with a deep but transparent core; medium+ viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe red and black brambles, spiced meat, black pepper, some purple flowers and stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This comes across lighter and more Burgundian than the last handful of vintages; almost giving me some 2014 vibes (which is a vintage in the last decade that I adore). It’s really good and shows a bit more elegance that I quite like. Looking forward to tracking this vintage as time goes on. Drink now with some patience and should be cracking through 2041 with ease. — 11 days ago
