98 Point CDP Pegau Magnum



2009 Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Laurence...$269.99 / Magnum
Starting off the reds and easily the best example of this cuvee since the 2001, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Laurence is incredible stuff. Deep, rich and layered, with copious notions of smoked meats, licorice, ground pepper, spice and saddle leather, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, terrific fruit intensity and a rich, mouth-coating texture. Hard to resist now, it should nevertheless have two decades of longevity. Drink now-2029.
Rated 98/100 The Wine Advocate
