Château Pegau Cuvée Maclura 2022 hails from the esteemed terroir of Côtes du Rhône, just southeast of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Owned by Laurence Féraud, this estate carries on the Pegau legacy with wines that reflect the region’s rich history and distinctive character. Named after the Osage Orange trees that grow among the vines, this red blend is crafted with meticulous care, following traditional winemaking techniques that enhance its depth and complexity.
Brimming with bold aromas of cassis, blackberry, and exotic spice, this wine delivers a beautifully layered palate of ripe dark fruit, silky tannins, and a touch of earthiness. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in enamel tanks, it remains unoaked, preserving the purity of its fruit and the vibrant energy of the Rhône Valley. A balanced structure leads to a long, satisfying finish, with hints of chocolate and baking spices lingering on the palate.
With its rich profile and food-friendly nature, Château Pegau Cuvée Maclura 2022 pairs effortlessly with grilled meats, charcuterie, and hearty vegetarian dishes. Its 14.5% ABV offers warmth and intensity, making it an excellent choice to enjoy now or cellar for further complexity. Whether savored on its own or alongside a robust meal, this wine is a testament to Château Pegau’s dedication to crafting expressive and age-worthy Rhône reds.
