2003 Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo Magnum - 100 pts - 1500ml
Regular price
$1,850.00
Domaine du Pegau is a well-known and respected wine producer based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and it is known for its traditional-styled wines from that appellation and farther afield in the Rhône Valley.
The estate had its beginnings under Elvira and Leon Feraud in the mid-1900s. However, the land the estate sits on has been cultivated with vines, olives and fruits since the 1600s. The domaine in its modern form was created by Paul Feraud, the son of Elvira and Leon, in 1987. He had been producing and selling a small amount of wine each year to negociants around France, but his daughter Laurence convinced him to create an independently owned family domaine and call it Pegau.

| Rating | RP100 - 2003 Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo - 100 pts! Domaine de Pegau's magical 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo is a magnificent offering. Tipping the scales at 16.1% alcohol it boasts a blockbuster nose of dry vintage port intermixed with pepper herbes de Provence and roasted meats. Frightfully concentrated with layers of glycerin and fruit it should prove to be one of the appellation's greatest classics. More backward than either the 1998 or 2000 Capos it is an enormously endowed hugely concentrated exhilarating effort that will last for three decades or more. It is a strong candidate for the "wine of the vintage." Anticipated maturity: 2010-2035+. When I asked Laurence how she would describe this beauty she said "It consists of 80% of a great vintage of Chateauneuf du Pape 20% a vintage port and the rest some Syrah and other things we throw in for complexity. |
