  1. Domaine du Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée Blanc 2023

    Light golden in color, with an elegant nose.

    Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

    Showing lemons, citrus, limes, green apples, light earth, herbs, spices and minerals.

    Long finish with limes.

    This is a very young white blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with nice complexity. Elegant and fruity.

    Needs a couple of years in the bottle to mature, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

    Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

    A blend of 60% Clairette, 20% Grenache Blanc, 10% Bourboulenc and 10% Roussane. Aged for 8 months in stainless steel vats. A small production of only 4,000 bottles.

    14% alcohol by volume.

    90 points.

    $80.

    CDP Blanc is so underrated IMO, fabulous white wines

  3. How’s the alcohol/warmth in this one? My last Marsanne/Rousanne blend from the Rhone punched me like a shot, which caught me brutally off guard lol. I’ve loved the few other Rhone whites I’ve had
