You did a great job (as usual) covering a lot of ground. The CdP vs CA comparison was a good way to explain the difference in style. Keep the fun coming! 🍷
Great video! Love CDP, it can be a real stunner and you’re right very aromatic, plus doesn’t take forever to age. At a recent dinner the 2016 Janasse Chaupin was really singing and the fav of guests over several 99/100 point Bordeaux.
Great video, as usual. I've been drinking Rhone Blends from all over the wine world when I'm able to find them. My favorite place outside of the Rhone is Spain. Blends with Garnacha leading the way kick huge amounts of ass. I'll be waiting for your take on Chianti Classico, another ass-whooping region that produces wine we, mortals, can actually purchase. Hoping to see Chinon in that format as well.
A real CDP wine lover I was in CDP and enjoyed tasting at Pegau and CSJ. The 2022 is vintage is on fire So if you are lucky enough, buy the CDP from 2015,2016,2020, and wait for the 2022! Just MHO
Impressive content, Wine Folly. Looking forward to your next upload from you. I pressed the thumbs up icon on your video. Keep up the fantastic work! Your exploration of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's history and its impact on the wine industry was fascinating. How do you think the recent trends in natural wine production will influence traditional regions like Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the coming years?
Great question! I think that it's not necessarily CdP that's slow, it's the buyers who still want the ol' style. However, considering the prices seem to be much lower than other high-end wine regions, it has the opportunity to budge. I was enthusiastic that the wine we tried is now practicing organic. Apparently about 30% of the vineyard area in CdP is organic now...which just shows us how close they are to natural winemaking.
You should also try the Australian version, Charles Melton wines, Nine Popes, a Barossa cndp blend. Delicious. Or try John Duval plexus sgm, available from Old bridge cellars Napa. 🇦🇺🍷😎👍
I’ve got a bottle of Kunin’s Pape Star in my wine fridge right now, from my visit at their Santa Barbara tasting room in August! What a surprise to see. Also took home their Syrah, Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, and a 100% Counoise that we got our host to uncork that was off-menu! Great winery.
I really like this kind of wine 🍷. Bought my first bottle this past winter and have bought a few more since then. This is an update to the comment that I placed a short time ago. I found a case for a good deal and just ordered it.
16% 😱 A full bodied wine can still be 13.8% to 14% … Grenache only? Is that really a good expression of CdP? What about Tablas Creek in Paso Robles? I have found them to be an amazing producer of CdP grown in the US…. Nice video overall!
Heya, yeah, it was a good example. Even at 16% which I agree... that's a doozy! I'm not sure what you're asking about Tablas Creek. Do you mean as a ringer for CdP? They are not a CdP producer because they are in Paso Robles.
I have to say after paying for a good vintage Beucastel CDP, Cru Cote du Rhone Villages is way more interesting and I feel CDP has rested on it's laurels somewhat.
I think you're right about the laurel-resting. They've had some brutal hot, drought conditions in past years. But, with 30% of their vineyards practicing organic, I think we'll start to see an evolution. Hopefully.
Clickbait headline “the best French red!” Is unworthy of you and unworthy of Wine Folly. So “better” than a Grand Cru Burgundy from a great vintage? “Better” than Petrie from a great vintage? And so on…..

CdP is a great tasting wine, I always have a bottle or two handy.
Great review 😁

I thought the Kunin was a great buy!
I love the way you are, the way you move... ❤
Nice job, Madeline.

And so on…..
Ha. Indeed. I could never pick the best, no one would agree with me. That's why there's a question mark at the end.
