When it comes to traditional Châteauneuf du Pape, no one does it better than Domaine du Pégaü’s Laurence and her father Paul Feraud. This estate refuses to make any concession to modern winemaking techniques and the wines are absolutely loaded with Provençal notes and characters. In addition to the estate’s Domaine du Pégaü releases, Laurence is also involved in a bevy of other projects, including her newly purchased Chateau Pégaü estate, which is located along the Rhône River, close to the village of Sorgues, and her Selection Laurence Feraud releases from throughout the Southern Rhône. These invariably show classic, traditional characters and are almost always good values. As has been said in the past, it’s almost impossible to have too much Pégaü in the cellar!
There’s an incredible track record of wines from this estate, even from difficult vintages, aging beautifully. A beautiful wine, especially in the vintage, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée (80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre and the rest other permitted grapes) has more depth and richness than most, as well as classic Pégaü notes of ripe black cherries, peppery herbs, tobacco leaf and hints of bloody meat. Medium-bodied, nicely textured and layered, it doesn't have the length or richness of a top vintage, but it has tons of character and given the track record here, no doubt it will have at least 10-12+ years of longevity. Last tasted Oct 2016. Drink now-2028.
