"Pierre Ferraud's Domaine du Pegau is the closest Châteauneuf-du-Pape in style to those of the legendary Henri Bonneau. Yet this offering from Jean-Claude Mestre is not totally dissimilar from the big, blockbuster style of Bonneau's Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Pepper, garrigue, truffles, and ripe, jammy black plum and cherry fruit reluctantly emerge with coaxing from this dark ruby-colored wine. In the mouth, there are gobs of tannin, structure, and grip, but there is no hiding its fleshy, full-bodied, beef blood-like taste. Not a Châteauneuf-du-Pape to sip casually, this [is a] large-scaled, traditionally-styled, dense, concentrated wine . . . . Those who admire the wines of Henri Bonneau and Domaine du Pegau will undoubtedly appreciate this offering."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
