The rare pearl of the Domaine du Pegau, only produced by nature during beautiful years in the colors of great vintages that the Cuvee Da Capo shows itself. A plot selection of Crau, this cuvee is a traditional blend of 13 Chateauneuf du Pape grape varieties with a majority of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre expresses the generosity and character of the hundred-year-old vines planted in a soil of silica sand. Bottled only 7 times, this special wine has been a worldwide success.
70% Grenache, 7% Syrah, 3% Mourvèdre, 20% others varieties, aged in 50 hL old oak casks for 2 years.
Wine Advocate Review:
As I reported last year, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo is impressive. While it's less flamboyantly aromatic than the Cuvée Réservée, it's more powerful and concentrated. Full-bodied and rich, it's loaded with potent raspberry fruit and silky tannins and boasts a finish that won't stop. Hints of roasted meat, lavender and thyme add complexity to the waves of fruit, which wash gently across the palate, exhibiting a lovely soft touch. Anticipated Maturity: 2020-2040
