Domaine du Pegau

At Domaine du Pegau, four generations of the Féraud family have preserved the most traditional winemaking methods in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, creating wines that embody the authentic soul of this legendary appellation. Under Laurence Féraud's meticulous stewardship, this 21-hectare estate produces some of the Rhône Valley's most coveted and age-worthy wines.

Founded in the early 20th century, Domaine du Pegau represents unwavering commitment to old-world techniques that many producers have abandoned. Laurence Féraud, following her father Paul's philosophy, employs traditional methods including extended macerations, indigenous yeasts, and minimal intervention.

The estate's vineyards feature the classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir of sandy soils mixed with galets roulés and limestone, perfectly suited to Grenache and the region's twelve other permitted varietals. This traditional approach has earned international acclaim and collector devotion. The flagship Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée represents the pinnacle of traditional Rhône winemaking, requiring decades to reach full maturity.

The estate also produces Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Laurence and a distinguished white Châteauneuf-du-Pape. These ultra-premium wines are crafted in limited quantities, with the Cuvée Réservée produced only in exceptional vintages. Each bottle represents investment-grade quality, with the estate's wines regularly earning perfect scores from international critics.

The traditional concrete vats and ancient cellars reflect Féraud's commitment to time-honored methods that create wines of extraordinary longevity and complexity. Domaine du Pegau operates by appointment only, offering intimate tastings in their historic cellars where visitors experience the authentic traditions of Châteauneuf-du-Pape winemaking.

The rustic tasting room, housed within the original stone buildings, provides an authentic glimpse into traditional Rhône Valley wine culture. Laurence Féraud personally conducts tastings for serious collectors and wine enthusiasts, sharing insights into the estate's philosophy and the unique characteristics of each vintage.

These exclusive experiences must be arranged well in advance due to limited availability and high demand from international collectors. The intimate setting allows visitors to taste directly from barrel and understand the patient approach required for these legendary wines.
