The Winery
Ancestors of father and daughter team Paul and Laurence Féraud farmed olives, cherries and grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape dating back to the 17th century. The methods established centuries ago carry on in the current vintages, creating robust, concentrated, traditional red and white wines. For many years the winery was known as Domaine Feraud fils. and they made traditional Chateauneuf-du-Pape. In 1987 Domaine du Pegau was formed as we know it today, when Laurence Feraud returned from her winemaking studies and she teamed up with her father Paul to create the winery. Complementing each other they have conserved the authenticity and quality of their Chateauneuf-du-Pape whilst bringing it to the attention of wine lovers around the world.
Wine Style
Moving to the classic Domaine du Pegau releases, and richer than normal,
with additional lees contact, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvee
Reserve (60% Clairette, 20% Grenache, 10% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc)
offers honey-tinged notes of citrus, buttered almonds and lees to go
with medium-bodied richness and depth on the palate. Lacking some
vibrancy when compared to previous vintages, it should be consumed over
the coming year.
