The Chateau Pegau releases come from an estate located just across the southern border of Chateauneuf du Pape, located along the eastern bank of the Rhone River. The wines are made by Laurence Feraud and they’ve recently completed work on a new cellar at the estate.

Bright pale straw colour with a watery hue. Aromas of pear, fresh apple and citrus are trailed by faint quince notes. Fresh pear and spiced apple flavours overlay subtle quince and a light stony back drop. Finishes dry with brisk acidity and a fresh medium length aftertaste.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 12.5%

A blend of 40% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc, 20% Grenache Blanc, 10% Ugni Blanc, the 2018 Côtes Du Rhône Lone Blanc offers a pale gold color as well as tart citrus, tart apple, and crushed rock. It's beautifully textured, with good acidity and a clean finish.
