Domaine du Pégau – Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo 2017

Produced in a limited run of around 1,200 bottles, Domaine du Pégau’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo 2017 is a rare, highly regarded expression of white Rhône. Its blend of Roussanne, Clairette and Grenache Blanc combines the appellation’s characteristic richness with a mineral, finely detailed style, earning praise from leading critics including Jeb Dunnuck, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator.

Tasting Notes
The supplied notes do not specify the wine’s appearance. On the nose, expect white flowers, ripe peach and pear, citrus and subtle spice. The palate is full, concentrated and silky, with white stone fruit, lemon cream and chamomile balanced by a distinct saline minerality and refreshing lift. A long, elegant finish brings together power and finesse.

Production
The wine is made from equal parts Roussanne, Clairette and Grenache Blanc, and is vinified using concrete tanks and oak barrels. The available information does not specify vineyard soils, harvest methods or further details of the winemaking. The 2017 is drinking well now, while careful cellaring may allow it to develop over many years; Jeb Dunnuck has noted its potential to evolve over several decades.

Food & Serving
Serve at 12–14°C in a generous white-wine glass, and give the wine a little air before serving. It pairs particularly well with turbot, lobster, scallops and light poultry served with creamy sauces; refined dishes featuring truffle are also a natural match.
