The Féraud family can trace their roots in Châteauneuf-du-Pape all the way back to 1670 when their ancestors first planted grape vines next to their olive trees. Winemaker Laurence Féraud proposed the creation of an independent family estate in 1987 and came up with the name Pégau.

The current Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards of Domaine du Pégau totals 48 acres of red wine grapes and 3.7 acres of white grapes. The appellation offers four types of soil: the famous rolled pebbles, sands, limestones and finally red (clay) sandstones. Vines average 60+ years in age and yield barely 2 tons of fruit per acre! This traditionally managed estate produces 3 red Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines and one white wine, as well as vine de table wines. The wines are distinguished by their power and a demonstration of elegance by their minerality and their length.
