2020 Château Pégau 'Cuvée Maclura' Côtes-du-Rhône

Winemaker’s Notes: Born under an Osage orange tree, the Cuvée Maclura Côtes du Rhône calls for the greediness of the fruit revealing a blend of spices with delicate tannins. Designed with respect for the traditions of the south, this cuvée is like our grandmothers’ cuisine : generous and full of life.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Jeb Dunnuck - "Leading off the Château Pégau releases, the 2020 Côtes Du Rhône Cuvée Maclura has textbook southern France-like garrigue, leather, pepper, and both red and black fruits in a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, charming style. It's perfect for enjoying over the coming 4-5 years."


Wine Spectator - "Baked cherry and cassis overlay warm earth and sweet baking spices in this red, which is solidly structured, with sinewy tannins coming into play and charred alder notes adding to the dark, brooding frame. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault."
