2024	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Coming in at eye level with the 2023 I tasted last year, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée Réservée shows well, offering pronounced aromas of dried chamomile, straw, honeysuckle and crushed rocks. Refined and complex, this medium- to full-bodied white is framed by bright acidity, showcasing elegance and vitality over power. It closes with a gentle phenolic bite on the long, sapid finish. This can be enjoyed right out of the gate.	Vinous	92		2025-10-31
2024	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee a Tempo	Entering the scene with a flinty whiff, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo is wonderful. Precise lemon flesh, honeysuckle, yellow apple and wet stone all come alive. Touching the medium- to full-bodied palate with stellar drive and energy, the 2024 is built around a firm acidic backbone, packing superb chisel all the way through to the focused finish.

2024	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape	This sample of the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée, tasted at the winery, is marked by reduction and needs time to open up. After 30 minutes in the glass, ripe red fruits, minty tones and dried herbs emerge. Underpinned by ripe tannins and showing a cool-toned, classic expression, the 2024 is a remarkably elegant Cuvée Réservée.	Vinous	90-92		2025-10-31
2023	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee a Tempo	Entering the scene with a flinty whiff, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo is wonderful. Precise lemon flesh, honeysuckle, yellow apple and wet stone all come alive. Touching the medium- to full-bodied palate with stellar drive and energy, the 2024 is built around a firm acidic backbone, packing superb chisel all the way through to the focused finish.

2022	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Cassis pastilles, strawberry jam, black cherry compote and a flicker of garrigue introduce the delicious 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée. Powerful, juicy and flamboyant in character, the 2022 might not have the sheer class and overall harmony as the standout 2020, but buyers can look forward to an open-knit, cellar-worthy Cuvée Réservée that’s going to demand at least four more years before starting to show its full potential.

2023	St. Urbans-Hof	Riesling QbA 'Nik Weis Old Vines'	Shows balance and deliciousness, with just enough plumpness, plus the subtlest hint of sweetness, held in check by a zip of energy and spine of crushed slate. Pings with lime peel oil, apple and elderflower notes. Juicy and round but never feels heavy.	Wine Spectator	90		2025-10-29
2022	Mayr	Gruner Veltliner	There are Grüner Veltliners that are made to age and then there are bottles like this — delicious liters ready to share. Waxy Meyer lemons and salty house made bistro butter on the nose. The palate is round and juicy with a bright, refreshing acidity.	VinePair	90		2025-10-29
2024	Forlong	Palomino 'Burbuja'	The organic ancestral sparkling white 2024 Burbuja Blanco was produced with Palomino grapes from Balbaína on "lustrillo" albariza soils. The 2024 wines are fine-boned, with more freshness and tension, with a faint bitter twist in the finish. They disgorged it after four months with lees (it used to be eight to 10 months) to keep even more marked freshness. This is very similar to the still white Blanco, but the extended contact with the lees makes it more complex at a faster pace.	Wine Advocate	92+		2025-10-27
2024	Forlong	Palomino 'Forlong Blanco'	The white 2024 Blanco was produced with Palomino grapes from barajuela soils. It fermented in stainless steel and was bottled unoaked. It has good ripeness and 12.5% alcohol and four grams of acidity. It has not yet developed much aromatic complexity, and in my experience, these wines benefit from at least one year in bottle. This is agile and balanced, with a fluid palate. It was a year with a lot more rain, a mild summer and a late and quiet harvest. We tasted it next to the 2023, which had accumulated drought, and you notice the bitterness and concentration of the year.	Wine Advocate	91+		2025-10-27
2022	Forlong	Tinto (Syrah, Tintilla) 'Petit Forlong'	The red blend 2022 Le Petit was produced with 90% Syrah and 10% Tintilla de Rota from vines planted in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Syrah was less ripe, and the varieties fermented together and matured in 2,000-liter clay amphorae for six months, followed by another six months in used French oak barrels. It's ripe and comes in at 14% alcohol and with a pH of 3.55. It displays balsamic notes, hints of green olives, aromatic herbs, quite Mediterranean, a bit leafy. It's medium- to full-bodied, with some slightly dusty tannins.	Wine Advocate	90		2025-10-27
