Laurence Feraud is one of the biggest names in Rhone wine, as her Chateauneuf-du-Pape's are dazzling and regularly top the Wine Spectator Top 100 list. Like all great Rhone wines, they can be a bit pricey. That's where Chateau Pegau comes in, a second label off-shoot project from her main focus at the Domaine. A few years ago, Laurence and her father Paul purchased a large estate, located just outside the village of Sorgues, that consists of 100+ acres of Cotes du Rhone and Cotes du Rhone Villages. A large but old vineyard, with vines averaging 50+ years.
"A well-crafted, aromatic and textural red. It show notes of dark berries, game, wild herbs, grilled meat and baking spices, with some cloves. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Layered and highly textural. Spicy and well-composed. 60% grenache, 20% syrah, 10% mourvedre and 10% cinsault." James Suckling, 93 Points
