Laurence Feraud expresses a different view than most of her colleagues, calling 2005 a winemaker's vintage while describing 2006 as "natural, with clean, fresh fruit and spice-almost Burgundian. Two thousand five started out as all red fruit and 2006 began black and purple, and they both changed completely, coming out with exactly the opposite personalities." She continues to have a soft spot for her 2004, which she says "has the most wonderful spicy character." Feraud told me that there will definitely be a Capo in 2007 and showed me a cask sample of the designated wine, which was way too young to even begin to assess. Incidentally, Laurence and her father Paul playfully argue about what accent mark, if any, the domain name should include, as well as about how the estate should be pronounced.
