Plan Pegau (Lot 2004) Selection par Laurence Feraud

Plan Pegau are mostly Grenache, with a fair amount of Carignan and Syrah, and probably some Merlot, maybe Cabernet and maybe still a drop of Madeline Angevine. Much of it was aged for half a year in small old oak barrels. The number refers (rather bizarrely) to the 'lot' rather than the year as it is technically a declassified wine - which means it is a lot cheaper than the classified versions. This was recommended to us as a very cheap wine that was good value in terms of quality. I have to agree - though not anywhere near the flavour of the Lirac (see below) it is a very nice reasonably priced (actually cheap) wine.

Rating: 3/5
