2003 Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Inspiration Magnum - 100 pts - 1500ml

While there is little left, the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Inspiration is one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted. This current tasting revealed that it has developed considerable complexity and shed some of the tannins it showed early in life. Only available in magnum, it is a super-expensive, limited cuvee that is impossible to find, but if any readers ever have the chance to taste it, don’t hesitate. Moreover, if you can afford it, don’t hesitate. One of the bastions of traditionalism in Chateauneuf du Pape is Domaine de Pegau, long owned by the Feraud family, and now run by the charming, talented Laurence, who was exceptionally well-schooled by her father, Paul. This nearly 50-acre estate fashions some of the longest-lived, most interesting wines of the appellation. The success they have enjoyed with their estate wines has allowed the Ferauds to branch out with a small negociant operation that includes selections Laurence makes through her contacts in the southern Rhone as well as wines she co-producers with another Chateauneuf du Pape name well-known for high quality, Andre Brunel.
