- Notes from winemaker
- Château Pegau is owned by iconic winemaker, Laurence Féraud, and is an exceptional terroir situated less than 4 miles southeast of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Loaded with classic Côtes du Rhône fruit and spice, the wines retain the hallmark stamp and identity of Pegau. Cuvée Setier is named “setier” after an old fashioned measurement used for both grain and wine— here, “setier” references an ancient stone vessel that held 66 liters of wine.
