Domaine du Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010 3L, a monumental wine from the southern Rhône Valley, is a flagship offering from one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most revered producers. This Grenache-dominated blend, with Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other varieties, hails from the exceptional 2010 vintage, known for its structure and longevity. Presented in a grand 3-liter bottle, it displays a deep garnet color with brick-red edges, reflecting its maturity. The nose is a rich bouquet of black cherry, stewed plum, and dried fig, interwoven with classic Rhône notes of garrigue, thyme, and licorice. Tertiary aromas of leather, truffle, and smoked meat add complexity, showcasing the wine’s evolution. On the palate, it is full-bodied and intense, with softened, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity framing concentrated fruit. The mid-palate reveals stony minerality from the galets roulés soils, leading to a long, layered finish with spice, fruit, and earth. Fermented in concrete vats and aged in large oak foudres, this wine reflects Pegau’s traditional approach. Ideal for pairing with roasted game, lamb, or truffle dishes, it is at its peak but can cellar for another decade in this large format. Domaine du Pegau 2010 is a collector’s treasure, offering a profound Châteauneuf-du-Pape experience.
