2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée Domaine du Pegau Bright saline notes add aParker Joe Czerwinski 96 98: I was even more impressed by the 2020 Chteauneuf du Pape Cuve Rserve than the 2019.

Medium to full bodied, silky, elegant and long, this is quintessential Pegau. James Suckling 94 95 points: Brimming with forest berries, this has excellent concentration and wonderful freshness for the warm vintage,
