Fresh and vibrant yet rich, the 2024 Château Pégau Cuvée Lône opens with clean stone-fruit notes (think nectarine) and white flowers like honeysuckle, with a lightly exotic, acacia-like lift; on the palate it’s driven by fresh acidity and good energy, finishing with great length and balance. Produced as a white Côtes-du-Rhône blend of Clairette (40%), Bourboulenc (30%), Grenache Blanc (20%), and Ugni Blanc (10%) grown on loamy, pebbly soils, the fruit is harvested by hand, then directly pressed and cooled before a temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks for about a month, followed by roughly four months of élevage in stainless steel.
