What distinguishes traditional vs. modern producers of Chateauneuf du Pape wines?

Classic Chateauneuf du Pape wine producers follow old school methods, such as longer maceration periods and minimal oak aging where the wines end up being more rustic, while modern producers are focusing on purity of the fruit and more use of new oak resulting in a smoother, well polished style.
