Inspired by the old way of making Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it spends four full years maturing in large old oak casks, giving Grenache the time it needs to unfold with remarkable complexity and grace. Presented in a 300cl format and delivered in its original wooden case, it is a serious collector’s wine with real historical character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this vintage shows the kind of deep, concentrated color you’d expect from a wine with this much structure and maturity. The nose is layered and aromatic, with dark plum, red cherry, leather, apricot, and cocoa leading the way, all wrapped in a warm, earthy Rhône profile.\n\nOn the palate, it moves into dark fruit, roasted chestnuts, bay leaf, tobacco, and thyme, with a long, expansive finish that continues to evolve in the glass. This is a wine with excellent aging potential; while already deeply expressive, it is designed to gain even more nuance over time, especially in magnum-sized format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCuvée Laurence is based on Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s classic blend, led by 80% Grenache and supported by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and ten additional permitted varieties, vinified in the same way as the estate’s Réservée cuvée. The grapes come from the Rhône’s iconic galet-strewn terroir, where warm days and cooling influences help create ripe, powerful fruit with natural concentration. The key difference lies in maturation: rather than early release, the wine spends four years aging in large oak barrels, a traditional approach that softens tannins and builds complexity without overpowering the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an ideal match for slow-cooked meats, game, roast lamb, beef daube, or rich Provençal dishes with herbs and olives. It also pairs beautifully with mature hard cheeses and hearty mushroom-based plates. Serve at 16–18°C, and while decanting is not essential if the wine has had substantial bottle age, a few hours in a decanter can help open the aromatics, especially in a large-format bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine du Pégaü is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most respected estates, closely associated with traditional winemaking and long élevage. Led by Laurence Féraud, the domaine has earned a strong reputation for producing powerful, ageworthy wines that stay true to the character of the appellation.
