The Great Pegau (Southern Rhône, France)

THE GREAT PÉGAÜ
Domaine du Pégaü, an old Provencal word for a wine jug found in the excavations of the 14th century Pope’s Palace in Avignon, was established in 1987 when Laurence Féraud returned to assist her father, Paul Féraud at the domaine after her wine studies. The father and daughter team complement each other’s talent, preserving and improving the authenticity and quality of the wine and property that has belonged to the family for several generations.

Domaine Du Pégaü Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Reservee Rouge 2005
