Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Super traditional CDP producer and in such a beautiful place right now at 12-13 years. Beautiful balance of fruit, liquer, game and earth. Wow.

2021 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. Fleshy. Durty nose. Chunky and slightly unresolved but I think I can fix it and be happy. Good punch throughout. Under $30 USD resto cost which is increasingly holy grail for CDP rouge or blanc these daze. 04.23.25.

Apr 23rd, 2025Sipped a glass while cooking food. Bold, full body whine, low tanning but complex, feels like a lot is going on. Not very dry, earthy, plums and raspberries. Definitely should be paired with food, as the alcohol strength is coming through.

Rapidly changing wine, let it breathe, surprisingly smooth for Grenache, super low tanins
