"Starting with the whites, exotic flowers, honeyed orchard fruits, orange blossom, and some almost Alsatian-like minerality all emerge on the nose of the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, which turns richer and textured on the palate, with a beautiful mix of viscosity and vibrancy. Medium-bodied, balanced, and as always, a singular white, it will easily drink well for 4-5 years and evolve nicely over the following decade."

The story of Domaine du Pegau is a classic French tale of history, passion, and artistry… past, present, and future. The Féraud family who owns Pegau have been growing vines in Chateauneuf-du-Pape since 1670, with titles to their earliest vineyards dating back to 1733. But the glass of deep garnet red that sits before me right now, the young and commanding Cuvée Réservée Rouge 2016, is not just telling me a story of the past and of tradition, of grapes from vines that have endured two world wars, of a land that literally sings as if the mistral winds were given a voice. This is modern-day labor of love, handcrafted by the Domaine’s contemporary Ferauds, father and daughter team Paul and Laurence.
After her studies in Paris, Laurence returned to her home full of vision and verve about the future of her family’s famous parcels in Chateauneuf, and shortly thereafter in 1987 what was once a farm that sold grapes to other producers became an estate-bottled Domaine, named Pegau (after the ancient terracotta jugs used in the Pope’s summer residence that gave the village its name).
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
