Description

Domaine du Pegau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Les Gouttes de Dieu 2016 is a full-bodied red wine produced in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. This highly collectible limited-edition Châteauneuf was released to celebrate the hit Japanese manga Les Gouttes de Dieu (or `The Drops of God`), which features the wine of Pegau. This wine was bottled exclusively in magnum format. "A deep, rich, full-bodied powerhouse, it delivers awesome notes of cassis and darker fruits, garrigue, Provençal spice, and subtle oak. These all carry to a powerful, full-bodied, mouth-filling beauty that oozes Provençal charm. It needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years (or more) and will still being drinking brilliantly at age 30." Jeb Dunnuck,
