Domaine du Pegau
The big news here is the Feraud family's recent acquisition of 41 hectares of vineyards, all planted to red varieties, due south of Chateauneuf and abutting Sorgues to the west, and spanning the Cotes-du-Rhone-Villages (25 hectares), Cotes-du-Rhone (5) and more generic IGP (11) appellations. This almost triples the Ferauds' land holdings (they own 21 hectares in Chateauneuf-du-Pape) and will allow them, according to Laurence Feraud, "to reach a far greater market than we could with Pegau." And while she continues her negociant projects throughout the southern Rhone, "there's nothing like having your own vines." I've noticed a bit more refinement and less sauvage character to the Pegau Chateauneufs in the last few vintages, with 2008 being a high-water mark for wildness and gaminess here. That said, a couple of '08s that I've had recently were in no way excessively funky, which wasn't the case a year or so ago. I suspect that bottle variation is at work here as I continue to hear of widely variable drinking experiences with this wine. Incidentally, the 1999 Pegau is a knockout right now, offering vibrant red fruit and floral character, striking freshness and fully absorbed tannins.
