Domaine du Pegau 2012 Château Pêgau Cuvée Maclura Red (Côtes du Rhône)

Country: France / Château Pêgau Cuvée Maclura
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine du Pegau / Côtes du Rhône

The aromas of cracked peppercorns, iodine, blackberries, crushed stone, dried spices and black olives are practically intoxicating on their own. Then, on the palate, you can taste the intensity, with firm tannins that come from a patch of 50-year-old vines in Sorgues. Drink this blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault from 2017–2025, treating it almost as if it were a mini Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
