Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf-du-Pape A Tempo Blanc, Rhone, France 2021 Patrick Noël Complex mix of yeasty notesThe 2021 Chteauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuve A Tempo spent 12 months in an eclectic mix of vessels: a 600 liter concrete egg, a 225 liter ceramic egg and two older barriques. Faintly nutty accents (almond?) appear on the nose, backed by white peach and tangerine fruit. Medium to full bodied, it's dense, compact and complex, adding hints of pine resin and poached pear on the lingering finish. It should age magnificently. 95 Pts Robert Parker
