Famed Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer, Domaine de Pegau, only introduced a premium white cuvée to their range in 2014. Named Cuvée a Tempo Blanc it is made from equal parts Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Clairette, vinified in a combination of concrete eggs and barriques. Reminiscent of high-quality white Burgundy it is rich, round and seductive, with notes of struck match reduction, white orchard fruits, peach, jasmine and chalky minerality. Sharply defined, superbly balanced and exceptionally long, this should age particularly well.

There are 1,200 bottles of the 2017 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo, which was made in a combination of barriques and concrete egg. Equal parts Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, it's less toasty than the 2018, with crisp, focused citrus notes and tremendous length on the finish. It should drink well for a decade or more.Joe Czerwinski30th August 2019
