ABOUT THE WINE

The 2023 "Cuvée Lone" is a deft blend of Clairette, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, and Ugni Blanc—classic Rhône white varieties that reflect both tradition and terroir. Fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness, this cuvée bursts with notes of white peach, lemon verbena, crushed seashell, and a touch of herbal nuance. Grown on limestone-rich soils near Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the vines benefit from organic farming and the Mistral wind, which helps maintain grape health and vibrancy. Vinified without oak, the wine is all about clarity and finesse, delivering a textured yet lithe mouthfeel. It pairs seamlessly with Mediterranean fare—think grilled prawns, Provençal salads, or goat cheese with olive oil and herbs.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Château Pegau, led by Laurence Féraud, is a benchmark name in the southern Rhône and an emblem of rustic elegance. While best known for their powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds, the estate also crafts expressive whites that mirror the same authenticity and reverence for place. Rooted in generations of winemaking, Château Pegau emphasizes organic vineyard practices, minimal intervention, and traditional techniques. The wines are always expressive, soulful, and reflective of their terroir. "Cuvée Lone" (named after Laurence’s nickname) embodies the estate’s lighter, more playful side—a wine crafted with the same integrity but intended for joyful, everyday moments.
