Först trodde vi att den hade sett sina bästa dagar, dov, trött och utan frukt. Borde kanske druckits för 5 år sedan. Men med lite luft och värme så blommar det ut till något riktigt bra. Tydliga Grenache-toner (30%) med röda bär och kryddor, bbq-sås och lite bittermandel. Begynnande mognad i form av läder och lite stall. Mjuka fina tanniner och rejäl syra med lång eftersmak. Riktigt gott.

Served Blind, and called southern rhone GSM blend. I always think this is a great wine with impeccable qpr and complexity, and it was also the case tonight.

Consistent with previous bottles. Rotating between violet and purple in color, this wine showed dried cherry, redcurrant, smoke, meaty notes and that classic Pegau funk. The mouth feel revealed garrigue notes and bright acidity. The finish was moderate in length with a touch more of forest floor and the acidity, fruit, tannins and funk were all brought together seamlessly. 13.5% abv.
Purchased for $15US, this is an excellent qpr and one I'll easily look for again. It clearly shows its sense of place while remaining simple and priced for every day drinking.

Deep ruby red colour. Dark berries with hints of vanilla on the nose. Taste of dark berries with hints of vanilla in the finish. Lacks some complexity. Works fine with red meat.

Taste-wise, this is in-between the other 2 bottles I've opened. Inconsistency from Pegau, imagine that! Some nice red fruit, minerality, a touch of clean funk, and a slight streak of feral funk running through it. Mostly enjoyable, but every once in a while that feral funk hit me in a bad way and gave me pause. With 3 bottles remaining, I do not regret buying them. But I will probably look elsewhere for cheap Rhones.

This bottle was nothing like the first bottle I had a couple weeks ago. The Pegau funk is alive and well in this bottle, but there's nothing much else to go with it. It's's simply a funky, clunky, pedestrian Rhone wine. This is the kind of wine I would expect to be served at a restaurant if they had a "by the glass" Languedoc for very little money.

Lightweight younger sibling to the magnificent Pegau CdPs delivers great satisfaction at its price point of $15. Fairly complex and structured with significant red fruit but also tiny hints of the Pegau licorice, herbs, barnyard, and leather. I'd be happy to drink a case of this over the summer.

Pnp through a vinturi; medium clear garnet in appearance. Has a nose of a crate full of berries, like raspberries and blueberries from the supermarket; some hints of garrigue with some muskiness to it. Herby on the palate mostly along with some black peppers and plums. Light-medium body with a short finish. According to Pegau's website this has some merlot and cabernet in it.

Full disclosure - I like Pegau CDP. Now onto this wine, which is an NV Southern Rhone with a lot # of 2011. Sadly, it does not bear any semblance to Pegau CDP. There's no full rich dense red fruit, no controversial and equally rich barnyard. It is simply a pop and pour, under screwcap, pleasant, inoffensive, balanced, extremely easy-drinking red. I mean the kind of easy-drinking wine that a jaded wine snob can drink, and unfortunately there aren’t a lot oft those under $20. There is plenty of minerality and acidity to stand up to the fruit and tannins. Even at this young age, I see no reason to hold. I would drink now, it is what it is and it ain’t getting any better. I was expecting more Pegau character, and I am disappointed that I’m not finding any here. Nonetheless, at $15 a bottle, I do not regret buying this. I would prefer to drink something with more character, but I can drink this wine almost too easily. Consumed over two nights.

Bright red and black fruit (cherries and very ripe strawberries) with some hints of spice and garrigue. A wonderful everyday wine that is not in any way overdone. Moderate alcohol, no noticeable oak; just great fruit. Lacking the tannins and structure that one finds in many Cotes du Rhones, but a wonderful good value wine.

13.5% - Clear, med ruby / clean, med intensity - cherry, black pepper, smoky, violet, gamey, dried herbs / dry, med refreshing acidity with a med body and intensity, very harmonious with no pretention which end up being quite surprising for a Vin de Table level. A solid 87

Excellent qpr. sure enough, this is forward, exhibits toasted oak imprint and has a rather short finish, but it is also structured way beyond what these entry level wines usually are - certainly in terms of freshness, and also tannins that are neither dominant, bitter or overly extracted. I would serve this at 13-14 degrees celsius rather 17-18 degrees to emphasize freshness and its intoxicatingly pleasant aromas of fresh&dark berries, licorice root tea, smoke and saddle leather over alcohol and oak. drank extremely well with the first grilled steak of the season. buy this instead of cheap malbec or shiraz for the grill season!

Tons of dark fruits combined with rather strong herbal tones and saddle leather is the first impression of this rather "shallow" effort. The palate depth and structure is perhaps nothing worth noting, but this effort still delivers some of the unmistakable house style of Domaine du Pégaü. A very approachable effort which drinks nicely at present.

Has some ripe, forward fruit and dustiness, but I found it simplistically plummy, as well as hot, imbalanced, and too rustic for anything over $10.
