2010 Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee da Capo - 100 pts!
Domaine du Pegau is a well-known and respected wine producer based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and it is known for its traditional-styled wines from that appellation and farther afield in the Rhône Valley.
The estate had its beginnings under Elvira and Leon Feraud in the mid-1900s. However, the land the estate sits on has been cultivated with vines, olives and fruits since the 1600s. The domaine in its modern form was created by Paul Feraud, the son of Elvira and Leon, in 1987. He had been producing and selling a small amount of wine each year to negociants around France, but his daughter Laurence convinced him to create an independently owned family domaine and call it Pegau.
