Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

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

Chateau Pegau Côtes-Du-Rhône Blanc White Rhone Blend 2021

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

Château de Beaucastel

Coudoulet de Beaucastel Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 1999

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

Good age for a Côtes du Rhône! Regarding the Pegau - I have had frequent issues with Brett and Pegau.

Chateau de Fonsalette

Réservé Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2011

Great lunch. Highly perfumed fonsalette and even more so rayas against a very young and quite flabby Pegau. Elegance against power, feminin against masculin. — a month ago

Cuvée Réserve Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhone Blend 2015

Straw golden color. Oxidized a bit. Little hot at first but then great apricot and stone fruits when paired with scallops and salmon. Good body and light in the palate. Crowd pleaser. — 2 months ago

What a pleasing dinner companion. I can feel the Provençal sun and breeze. Buy a case. Drank this with wild boar ragu from Bruno’s cookbook. — 5 months ago
