Domaine du Pegau Cuvée Réservée Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, France 750ML

Domaine du Pegau Cuvée Réservée is a prestigious red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the southern Rhône Valley of France. Produced by the Féraud family, this estate has been crafting wines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape since 1987 and is widely regarded as one of the appellation's finest producers. The Cuvée Réservée is the estate's flagship wine, made primarily from old-vine Grenache blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other traditional Rhône varieties grown on the estate's garrigue-covered vineyards.

The wine is vinified using traditional methods with no temperature control, no filtration, and no fining, allowing the grapes' natural character to express itself fully. It is aged in large old oak foudres to preserve fruit purity while adding complexity. The result is a wine of remarkable depth and concentration, typically displaying aromas of dark cherry, garrigue, leather, spice, and Provençal herbs with a full-bodied palate and a long, structured finish.

The Cuvée Réservée is a wine that rewards cellaring but can also be enjoyed now with dishes such as braised lamb, roasted game, duck confit, or aged cheeses. The "RSV" designation refers to Réservée, and "(IE)" indicates an interstate exclusive allocation in the Costco purchasing system. Alcohol content is typically 15% ABV.
