This vintage captures the essence of a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, offering a structured profile defined by dark bramble fruits, cracked black pepper, and scorched earth. The palate is dense yet surprisingly fresh, layered with ripe black cherries, licorice, and a characteristic savory hint of garrigue herbs. Firm, fine-grained tannins provide a robust backbone that carries the wine into a long, smoky finish, suggesting excellent potential for cellar aging as the primary fruit yields to more complex notes of leather and sandalwood.
Domaine du Pegau is one of the most storied names in the Southern Rhône, with the Féraud family tracing their viticultural roots in the region back to the 17th century. The estate was formally established in its current form in 1987 by Paul Féraud and his daughter Laurence, who quickly elevated the property to international acclaim through traditional winemaking techniques and old-vine holdings. Today, the domaine remains a benchmark for the appellation, renowned for its commitment to natural fermentations and extended aging in large oak foudres, a process that ensures their wines maintain a distinctively rustic and powerful identity.
