*Pick up orders are available next day for pick upThe wines of Domaine du Pegau require little introduction. Heralded by wine writers such as Robert Parker, this Southern Rhône winery has been lauded as one of the finest producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The property is owned by the Feraud family, who are strong proponents of traditional wine making. Their 21 hectares of holdings in Châteauneuf-du-Pape are spread across 11 plots in the sectors of Courthézon, La Solitude and Bédarrides. They additionally own 25 hectares of vines designated as Côtes du Rhône Villages, 5 hectares of Côtes du Rhône, and 12 hectares of Vins Sans Indication Geographique (the newly created designation for basic French table wines).
The Château Pégau Cuvée Lône is made from an interesting blend of 40% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc 20% Grenache blanc, and 10% Ugni Blanc. The dominant varietal in the blend, Clairette is a pale-skinned grape that was once more commonly planted during the 18th and 19th centuries. When blended it lends acidity and fresh tree fruit and citrus flavours. To maintain this crisp quality, the Cuvée Lône was vinified and matured in stainless steel tanks.
