Owned and operated by the tireless Féraud family, Domaine de Pegau is unquestionably one of the leading producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Cuvée da Capo is their flagship wine and is only produced in years deemed of exceptional quality, with just seven vintages ever released. It is a traditional assemblage of the 13 permitted varieties all sourced from the supreme Le Crau sub-zone but contains at least 70% Grenache. The 2016 instalment is an astonishing wine of prodigious richness, complexity and finesse, exhibiting wonderfully seductive notes of black fruits, berry liqueur, tar, wild herbs, liquorice and crushed stones. Immensely full-bodied yet incredibly elegant, this will easily have a 20-year lifespan.

The 2015 Cuvee da Capo is a monumental Châteauneuf-du-Pape, representing the pinnacle of the Domaine de Pegau's winemaking. This specific cuvee, bottled in a rare 300cl format, showcases the rich and complex character of the vintage, marked by intense flavors of dark fruits, spices, and a hint of garrigue, with a deeply layered texture and a long, refined finish. Rich and intense flavors of dark fruits, black cherry, plum, leather, earthy spices, and hints of garrigue. Silky tannins and a long, complex finish. Several high scores from wine critics, including potential 100-point ratings.

The Chateauneuf du Pape collection from Château Rayas represents the pinnacle of the winery's production. Crafted from old Grenache vines, these wines are celebrated for their complexity, depth, and expressive character of the unique sandy soils of their vineyards.

Château Rayas is an iconic winery in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region of southern France, famed for producing exceptionally fine and elegant wines. Despite its renown, Château Rayas maintains a low profile, focusing on quality over quantity. The estate practices traditional winemaking methods, favoring old Grenache vines and natural fermentation processes.
