The 2018 Domaine Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée is a distinguished red wine from France's esteemed Southern Rhône Valley. This blend is typically composed of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, emblematic of the robust and complex wines of the region. The 2018 vintage benefited from a warm growing season, leading to ripe, concentrated fruit flavours with a backbone of rich tannins and a notable depth. The terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is characterised by its galets roulés, large pebbles that retain heat during the day and release it at night, assisting in the ripening process of the grapes. Traditional vinification methods in this region, such as long maceration periods, often enhance the wine’s structure and ageing potential.
The Southern Rhône Valley, a cradle of French viticulture, basks in a Mediterranean climate. The area is exposed to the mistral wind, which helps to keep the vineyards dry and free of disease. Its diverse soil profile ranges from clay and limestone to sandy alluvium, providing a rich foundation for a variety of robust grape varieties. The history of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is steeped in its papal legacy, dating back to the 14th century, when the papacy was seated in Avignon, not far from the vineyards.
When pairing this Châteauneuf-du-Pape with food, consider dishes that complement its full-bodied characteristics. Roasted lamb with herbs, game dishes like venison stew, or a classic Provençal ratatouille would all highlight the wine’s rich, spicy notes. Additionally, regional cheeses such as Saint-Nectaire or a well-aged Comté would pair beautifully.
For an optimal tasting experience, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting it an hour before serving will allow the wine to open up, releasing its bouquet and enhancing its complex aromas, making for a truly memorable tasting journey.
