The Rebellious Little Brother of Châteauneuf
Plan Pegau has always been the rebellious little brother of Domaine du Pegau’s legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It doesn’t have the appellation, the prestige or the price tag—and seemingly couldn’t care less. What it does have is one of the region’s most sought-after winemakers, and the unmistakable character of a domaine that has been a reference point for traditional Châteauneuf for decades.
“Life is too short not to drink abundant quantities of Pegau.”
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
An inimitable force of nature, Domaine du Pegau’s Laurence Feraud is tirelessly uncompromising and fiercely committed to her craft, and this bottle is a direct window into the style of her legendary estate. Every time I taste it—and I’ve tasted it plenty—I’m reminded just how absurdly good it is for the price. Plan Pegau remains one of the great values in our portfolio; a true snapshot of her Châteauneuf at a price that continues to defy logic.

Hand harvested, fermented whole cluster with native yeasts in concrete and aged in old French oak, Plan Pegau gets the same serious treatment you would expect from this legendary estate. By blending across vintages, Laurence captures the purest expression of Pegau’s unmistakable house style.
Rich and velvety, with the savoury complexity that makes great Southern Rhône so satisfying at the table; if you’ve somehow never tried it, this is one of those bottles that explains itself better than we ever could. There’s a reason we keep coming back to it.

Guy P. – Verified Buyer
“Pegau Priced Right.”
“After visiting Pegau’s shop in Chateauneuf du Pape and tasting several of their top notch wines, the “Plan” represents a great way to enjoy the best value of their lineup. Great nose, solid structure and delicious blackcurrent, cassis and cedar notes. Excellent value.”
