Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee Pegau 2023 (750ML)

92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "I was able to taste the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Reservée from multiple foudres, and it's going to be a solid, classic Pegau from this reference point estate. Its ripe red, blue, and black fruits, peppery herbs, leather, and spicy, Provençal notes all shine, and it plays in a more medium-bodied, supple, elegant style not too far off the style of the château’s 2020." 10/24

93 Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée has turned out beautifully, opening with aromas of dark berries, rose petals, mulberries and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, round and sappy, it is deep and muscular, framed by velvety tannins and concluding with a long, spicy finish. Less dense and robust than in previous years, this blend of 80% Grenache Noir, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre and 10% permitted varieties should gain further depth and harmony with time in the cellar." 10/25

92-94 Points, Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous: "The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée launches with vivid violet, rosewater and ripe red fruits, with a sprinkle of white pepper and leafy gradations. Less structured and concentrated than the more serious 2022, the 2023 is full-bodied, no doubt, but also outstandingly light on its feet. A long and refined finish confirms its potential. (Drink between 2028-2040)" 11/24
