The reviews on this are fascinating! After having the cakebread a few nights ago it is amazing how close these wines are. This is beautiful cherry and raspberry fruit with a hint of pepper and good tannin. I’m guessing that provenance of this wine is the key to difference of reviews or garagiste truly received something different in the bottle. Great qpr from my tasting. — 7 years ago

Earth and graphite on the nose and on the attack, turning fruity then finishing round and slightly sweet. High quality but not my style. — 8 years ago

Dark fruit, cherry and blackberry, with a hint of fragrant spice. Soft tannins that still have a nice grip. Wonderful lingering finish. — 9 years ago

One of the few producers that I purchase each and every vintage. I find that Laurence Feraud’s wines are consistently some of the more interesting and enjoyable wines made in all of Chateauneuf du Pape; particularly when value comes into play. This bottle is my first experience with her 2018 vintage and the first bottle of a small tranche that I swooped up upon release. Popped and poured; consumed over 5 hours. The color is deep ruby with a near opaque core; glossy and gorgeous to behold. Medium+ viscosity. On the nose, this is classic Pegaü with loads of dark cherry and bramble fruit, a veritable hillside full of garrigue, lavender, black pepper, and something that reminds me of old books. On that palate, the fruit is equally generous, brambles and cherries, exotic spices, Herbs de Provence and a somewhat sanguine-like character to it. Substantial structure, though it seems to be a notch lower than the previous three vintages at this point in its young life. The tannins are very sneaky. Almost imperceptible for the first hour and yet, by hour four, they were very much making themselves known (in the Medium+ range). Acid is also Medium+ indicating these have an exciting life ahead. The finish lasts for well over a minute. All in all, another lovely Pegaü that will likely live in the shadow of some of the more heralded vintages in the last ten years however, that doesn’t mean this isn’t a stunner. Absolutely lovely stuff and I very much look forward to enjoying these well into the 2030’s. — 4 years ago

New wine for me. Not a typical sauv Blanc by any means. Nice layers that were unexpected. Fruit and finish. Nice. Scribner in hunter. Great addition to Catskills scene! — 8 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
