Laurence Feraud prizes this estate's young 2001s forx000D their classic structure, noting that this vintage will not be drinkablex000D early. At the time of my Novemberx000D visit, she seemed to prefer 2001 to 2000 and 1999, although she told me it wasx000D impossible to make a Da Capo cuvee in 2001. The Pegau wines are throwback, classically made Chateauneuf du Papesx000D with headspinning alcohol levels. Thex000D affable Paul Feraud, Laurence's father, is an oldtimer who is clearly notx000D afraid of volatile acidity levels that would send most of the region'sx000D enologists screaming from his cave.

Paul and Laurence Feraud agree that 2000 produced fatter wines than either '99 or '01, and is thus more to their taste, but Laurence also loves the '99 for its acidity and bright fruit character. "The problem was that this vintage began to be sold at the same time as 2000 Bordeaux futures," she noted. At the end of my tasting, I was able to try a very late '97 release, the Cuvee Justine, named after Laurence's daughter. (Dan Kravitz/Hand-Picked Selections, Warrenton, VA; J&R Selections, Mt.
