Domaine du Pegau Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Laurence 2012 300CL

Domaine du Pégaü Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Laurence 2012 is a richly layered, traditionally minded Rhône red, presented here in a striking 300cl format and the original wooden case. Created by Laurence Féraud as a tribute to the old way of making Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it stands out for its extended élevage in large casks, giving this Grenache-led blend remarkable depth, texture, and longevity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the deep, concentrated color you’d expect from a serious southern Rhône wine. The nose opens with dark plums, red cherries, leather, apricot, and cocoa, unfolding into more savory Mediterranean nuances with time in the glass. The palate is generous and complex, with dark fruit at the core, supported by warm chestnuts, bay leaf, tobacco, and thyme. The balance of ripe fruit, spice, and earthy detail suggests excellent aging potential, and the wine is expected to gain even more nuance with further cellaring.

Production
Made from a blend of roughly 80% Grenache, 6% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre, and a further selection of traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape varieties, Cuvée Laurence follows the same pressing and fermentation approach as the estate’s Réservée cuvée. The defining difference is the maturation: the wine spends four years in large old oak casks, a slower, more classical method designed to preserve freshness while allowing Grenache to develop greater complexity and harmony.

Food & Serving
This is an ideal match for richly flavored dishes such as roast lamb, game, braised beef, duck confit, and Provençal stews with herbs and garlic. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully, especially if drinking young.

Producer
Domaine du Pégaü is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most respected estates, closely associated with traditional winemaking and long aging in large casks. Led by Laurence Féraud, the domaine has earned an excellent reputation for producing wines with authenticity, depth, and remarkable cellaring capacity, making it a benchmark name in the Rhône Valley.
