Domaine Pegau Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Da Capo 750ML 2020

Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points

Lastly, the 2020 Ch?teauneuf Du Pape Cuv?e Da Capo is a bigger, richer wine, as well as a more youthful, focused, behemoth of a 2020. Powerful notes of ripe black cherries, darker currants, ground pepper, charcuterie, and flower incense are just some of the notions here, and it's full-bodied, with a concentrated, opulent mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It doesn't match the all-time greats of this estate, but it?s a more approachable, opulent, undeniable sexy, Proven?al Da Cape that's impossible not to love.

Vinous: 97 Points

Two thousand twenty marks the eighth time that Laurence F?raud has chosen to vinify a Ch?teauneuf-du-Pape Cuv?e Da Capo, which made its debut in the 1998 vintage. A vineyard selection from parcels in La Crau, Escondudes and Monpertuis, all harvested a little bit later than the grapes destined to go into the Cuv?e R?serv?e, this year?s blend is 70% Grenache, 7% Syrah, 3% Mourv?dre and the rest split among other permitted varieties. Aged in foudre for two years and achieving 15.8% alcohol, it soars from the glass with expressive aromas of dried rose petals, slightly cooked red and black fruits, licorice, dried herbs, tobacco, cured meat and white pepper. Full-bodied, concentrated and built like a brick wall, it will reward bottle age.

Wine Advocate: 97 Points

The 2020 Ch?teauneuf du Pape Cuv?e da Capo is a massively concentrated effort that should ultimately rival the great 2016. The blackberries and blueberries are so vibrant and intense that the wine almost seems sweet, packed with ripe fruit, with hints of mocha and garrigue for savory complexity. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture, it finishes with tremendous length and presence.
