Chateau Pegau Cuvée Maclura 2020

Born under an Osage orange tree, the Cuvée Maclura Côtes du Rhône calls for the greediness of the fruit revealing a blend of spices with delicate tannins. Designed with respect for the traditions of the south, this cuvée is like our grandmothers’ cuisine : generous and full of life.

This red cuvée is name after the Osage Orange trees that grow within the vineyard.
