Domaine du Pegau, Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee, 2015
There is no wine in the world quite like Pegau, and this is the plush, hedonistic side of it. While much of Châteauneuf-du-Pape modernized — destemming, polishing tannins, buying new oak — Laurence Féraud refuses to change a thing: late harvest, whole clusters left in the vat, and aging in ancient neutral foudres that have seen decades of wine. The 2015 vintage came from a warm, sunny year, and it shows in the wine's flesh: this is the richer, rounder, more voluptuous of the pair, sweet-fruited and generous, with its firm structure cushioned by ripeness. It's the full garrigue experience — lavender, thyme, crushed black olive, leather, cured meat — over dark blackberry. Basically the liquid equivalent of a slow-roasted leg of lamb, and the more immediately open bottle to pour tonight. High in alcohol and packed with soul, so share it.
