From Pegau’s non appellation vineyards in the Plan du Rhône, in St. Georges (near Courthezon), in Caderousse (small village northwest of Chateauneuf-du-Pape) and
at Chateau Pegau, in Sorgues. Clay and alluvial soils dominate the vineyards.
This rich, meaty red captures the essence of the Southern Rhône Valley, with layers of red and dark fruit character, soft supple tannins, and complex spice notes from extended aging in small oak barrels. Offers a true and loud echo of the traditional Pegau style and profile,
and is the “little brother” of the Domaine du Pegau Cuvée Réservée Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
A delicious, well-rounded and mellow blend of 30% grenache, 30% syrah, 20% merlot and 20% other grapes from the 2019, 2020 and 2021 vintages. It shows notes of dark berries, roasted meat and black pepper on the nose, following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Focused and flavorful with a dense finish. Drink or hold.
