Laurence Feraud’s flagship Cuvée Reservée bottling sits comfortably among the best of the appellation and may deliver the best value of all Châteauneufs. Both the 2018 and 2017 are among the standouts of the vintage. In the vintages they are bottled, the Cuvée Laurence and da Capo are intriguing distractions. They are almost always stunners and represent only a fraction of the wines produced. They often appear in the market at random times, demonstrating the highly individual personalities of this family.

Recent vintages of Pegau have displayed greater elegance than those from the mid-2000s but long-time fans of this estate’s wild, traditionally made wines need not fear that Laurence Feraud’s wines have become too polished.

An iconic producer of traditionally styled Châteauneufs, Pegau has a vast worldwide group of highly loyal fans, many of whom have trekked to the estate for a visit with the extremely hospitable and entertaining Féraud family. Laurence Féraud makes no apologies for the sometimes rustic character of Pegau's wines, which are sourced from the domain's 21 hectares of vines, made entirely with whole clusters and aged in old foudres and demi-muids for two years before bottling without fining or filtration. On the contrary, Féraud relishes the opportunity to continue the family tradition of making "wild wines that have their own personality. Like people with a unique character, not everybody is going to be in love with them." There will be a Cuvée Da Capo produced in 2015, she told me, making it the first to be bottled since the 2010.
