Glad I waited, a little time was good for this one. Nice fruit, not too forward but not absent…do I dare say balanced. A little earth but the black berry and cherry really dominate. A little leather on the finish, but for the $30 range, it’s making us happy. Will it work with the lamb dish I’m preparing…I think so.

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.

I was sure there was more Mourvèdre in this as it reminds me a bit of drinking Bandol, lots of black pepper & tannin framing the rich fruit. Turns out to be 70 Grenache/20 Syrah/ 10 Mourvèdre. High quality CDR here.

Nicely balanced CDR. Smooth, and pairs perfectly with hearty food - in this case Rouladen made by Oma.

Single parcel just outside the CNDP appellation boundary. High-toned aromas, structured CDR with elevated yet ripe tannin. Kirsch, powdered sugar, lavender, stoney minerality, sweet spice. Great value, approachable

Full bodied, fruity, and peppery with both baked and tart black cherry, blueberry, and plum. Solid tannins and enough acidity to handle most foods. Solid CdR.
