Stylish with plenty of Southern Rhône character, the CDR Les Champauvins from Dom. Grand Veneur is drawn from a plot just north of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and neighbouring Beaucastel’s Coudoulet lieu-dit. It features quite generous aromas of plum, hoisin, violet, garigue and vanilla leading to a very spicy and full bodied palate that hides its high ABV (15%) well. This is a good imitation of its AOC superiors and drinks well at four years of age. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2017 / Néw cuvee from Bordeaux blend #cabernetsauvignon #merlot #petitverdot with IGP #paysdoc while domaine Coudoulet is in Minervois. Six months barrel aging is reflected in a wine with strong cassis smell and spicyness. Character in taste. I served the wine straight from the fridge, the fruit is extra accentuated. Very good effort. — 6 years ago
Redfruits, nice acid lifts this, fully mature and is super clean compared to the gamey/leathery/slightly funky 1999 Pegau CdP, but lacks the depth or flavor interest or sheer complexity of the Pegau!! — 6 months ago
Delectable: This is made by Famille Perrin, not Pierre Perrin - not offered in your choices. Dense dark Ruby in colour - impenetrable. Fairly closed on the nose - I didn’t decant and probably should have. The palate reflects the ripe warm 2015 vintage. One can taste the fruity Grenache, the tarriness of the Mourvèdre and the spiciness of the Syrah - overall a gamey note - only a small % of Cinsault. Had the last bottle 14 weeks later on 5th February 2022 with similar notes. — 3 years ago

Enjoyed at Hickory and Ash. This Grenache Syrah blend is incredibly smooth. Low tannins. Medium finish. Leather. Clay. — 4 days ago
