WINEMAKER NOTES
A cousin of Laurence Feraud of Domain du Pegau; Eddie Feraud’s wines are splendidly located in vineyards with rich history. Drink this anytime over the coming 4-7 years.
TASTING NOTES
Red and black fruit, garrigue, and spice abound. Medium to full-bodied, extremely elegant and old school in style. Plush fruit flavors with soft, dusty tannins on the finish.

PRESS
“The 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape is another classic wine that’s loaded with Provençal charm and character. Old school in style, with lots of garrigue and leather, it has rocking levels of fruit (which you don’t find often in the vintage), medium-bodied richness, notable balance and fine, ripe tannin. Drink it anytime over the coming 5-6 years.” – 90 points, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
