2016	Domaine Yves Cheron	Cuvee Jurassique Gigondas	Rich blueberry and cherry notes mark the nose of the 2016 Gigondas Jurassique. A blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah, it's full-bodied, ripe and velvety in texture, ending on hints of crushed stone that give it a welcome dry, savory edge.	Wine Enthusiast	92		2019-01-22
2013	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Laurence Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Tasted five years after bottling, this wine still shows a core of dried strawberry and cherry flavor, but it's shaded by umami tones of balsamic, leather and mushroom. It's intoxicatingly rich on the palate but balanced freshly, edged by delicate tea tannins. This complex wine shows its savory side elegantly. It drinks well now but should hold until 2024.

2016	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Still in foudres, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee is even more impressive than it was last year. It's still firmly tannic, but the fruit seems to be growing in stature, adding volume and richness sufficient to round out the tannins. This full-bodied, concentrated wine offers hints of mocha and raspberries, but it seems a bit more monolithic than the 2015 at the moment.	Wine Advocate	93-95		2019-01-18
2017	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Pale green-tinged yellow. Heady, mineral-laced pear and melon aromas show outstanding clarity and a sexy floral nuance. Sappy and sharply focused on the palate, offering vibrant orchard fruit and honeydew flavors that are braced and lifted by a bitter citrus pith element. The floral note comes back strong on the finish, which lingers with outstanding, mineral-driven tenacity.	Vinous	93		2019-01-18
2016	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Limpid straw-yellow. Penetrating aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits are complemented by hints of chalky minerals and iodine. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering mineral-driven Meyer lemon, Anjou pear and chamomile flavors that show excellent clarity and vibrant lift. The mineral and pear notes carry strongly though an incisive finish that hangs on with impressive focus and tenacity.	Vinous	94		2019-01-18
2015	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Pale gold. Penetrating, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits are joined by hints of chalky minerals, quinine and ginger. Juicy and deeply concentrated, offering intense pear nectar, peach and Meyer lemon flavors that show excellent clarity and minerally drive. The mineral note lingers impressively on the nervy finish, which displays excellent focus and tenacity.	Vinous	92		2019-01-18
2015	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Vivid ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe raspberry, cherry and garrigue, while a suave floral element expands with air. Fleshy, seamless and broad on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and fruitcake flavors that are braced and lifted by a spine of juicy acidity. The floral note builds as the wine opens up and carries through the sweet, strikingly long finish, which leaves behind red fruit liqueur and licorice notes.	Vinous	93-95		2019-01-18
2013	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Deep ruby. Potent aromas of ripe dark berries, licorice pastille, woodsmoke, game and garrigue, plus a peppery nuance that adds spiciness and lift. Round and fleshy on the palate, offering intense blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that become livelier and sweeter with air. The very long, energetic, sharply focused finish features fine-grained tannins and subtle, lingering notes of dark berries and smoked meat.	Vinous	93		2019-01-18
2012	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Opaque ruby. Heady aromas of black and blue fruits, potpourri and Indian spices, with a smoky element emerging with air. Taut and sharply focused on entry, then fleshier and broader in the mid-palate, offering vibrant boysenberry and black raspberry flavors with hints of candied violet, smoked meat and licorice. Finishes spicy and long, with repeating florality and slow-building tannins.	Vinous	93		2019-01-18
2014	Domaine du Pegau	Cuvee Reserve Blanc Chateauneuf-du-Pape	Light, hazy yellow. Explosive, mineral-driven aromas of fresh pear, peach pit and white flowers carry a gingery background note. Stony, focused and pure on the palate, offering intense orchard fruit and citrus fruit flavors that become weightier with air. Clings with strong tenacity on the finish, which shows excellent clarity and a resonating floral note.	Vinous	92		2019-01-18
