CDP is a fabulous wine because it's a fine wine that is ok with being drunk early. I love the region and go there every year. I really like the guys that work entirely with concrete or large foudre.
Yes and Yes! :) I think CDP can also be a great investment for the cellars (great ageing potential and possibly even see a price increase in future), BUT because it is quite affordable and approachable in its youth, so many are drunk quite young. What I mean, higher price range often serves as a buffer, when You are looking for wine to open in Your long-time cellar!
One of my favorite appellations but sadly they are not super accessible (quite expensive) here in Australia. I have tried both red and white cdp from jerome gradassi and it was lovely. Thanks for the content
I wonder what is the average tax for wines like these, are they more expensive because of the elevated alcohol? CdP is not particularly cheap here in Europe as well but might be amongst of the more accessible of premium wine category, if compared to high end Bordeaux, Burgundy or even neighbouring Northern Rhone. 🥹
🤞🤞🤞 And hopefully they stay there. 😉 I have found that I cannot keep them in my cellar long enough. Because these wines are so approachable in their youth I somehow keep opening the bottles meant for ageing. 🤷♀️
Hello Agnese Enjoyed your Chateauneuf video. You asked about some of our favorites… mine: Domaine du Pagau. Now that I learned to trust your “favorites”… will seek out L’Oratoire. Again, many thanks… and keep up the great show!!
I really like my friend's video, thank you friend, I've been listening and watching the contents of the video friend, thank you very much for wanting to be my best friend, have a nice day❤❤🧡
Great Video! I have tried all but the Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes and they were all excellent (Pegau is my favorite). I am trying to learn more about Barolo, so I will be watching. Thanks.
I am a big fan of CnP blanc. 👍👍. I’ll try to find the one (and that 100% Grenache too😎) you mentioned, but I have to say my current favorite is the Janasse from the Southern Rhône and Domaine Coursodon Le Paradis Saint Pierre Blanc in Saint Joseph. Thank you!
Thank You! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Janasse is a lovely producer, I agree! Domaine Coursodon is one that I will need to look into and taste. Thank You for Your suggestions. 💪✨
Hi there! I was curious if you had any personal opinion on when the reds from C9dP hits their sweet spot in terms of aging from the release? I've personally always felt like I've appreciated aged c9dp's a bit more I feel like, and since I recently got a hold of a magnum sized Château De Beaucastel 2020 I'm sort of having an internal debate on how long to save it. 2020 does look as a decent vintage as far as I can see so 10-20 years shouldn't be any problem no? Would've been interesting if you had any input or general suggestion regarding said bottle 😊
Hi, thank You for the comment! 🙏🏻 I actually think that CdP drinks quite nicely at an very early stage, it rarely seems closed or hard. But it would take some 8-12 years for them to develop aromatic complexity that would include mushrooms, forrest floor and herbal spices. Magnums, of course should age even slower than that. 🙌 Also Beucastel is a top tier producer, therefore no doubts there, but 2020 vintage is often described as not best suited for long term ageing. So I wouldn’t go as long as 20 years, but that is just my opinion. 🍷 Cheers!
Very interesting wine..style? The only Rhone wines I have drank are Cote'd Rhone style of wines. Based on my little knowledge of french, this is the coast of the Rhone. Not sure if it is the coast of the Med that the Rhone empties into or just the coast of the river as runs through France.
Côtes du Rhône are actually a great introduction into Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines. If You like those, You might also enjoy the latter. The grapes are similar (both are blends usually based on Grenache) and for Côtes du Rhône the grapes are usually also sourced from the Southern Rhone. 🍷🍷💥
I actually don’t pay too much attention to the wine-food pairing, as each of us can perceive it differently. But I would go for some stew, lamb or even aged steak! 🙌
Some call it the little brother appellation of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, yet I think it can really offer a great bargain, especially if You know the TOP producers! 💪
To be honest I only recently truly fell in love with Rhone wines (whites I liked for a while though), and I agree with You. Majority of them offer great value! 🍷
😬😬😬😬 great comment, and when I was making it, I was thinking - should I say 13 or 18? So let’s count: in theory we have Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Clairette, Vaccarèse, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Counoise, Muscardin, Picpoul, Picardin and Terret Noir? But, if we count Grenache Blanc and Gris (Rose) as a separate grapes as most do? And those are allowed, then number goes up. So this is where the confusion was. Maybe I should have said, depending on how You count - there are 13 or more grapes allowed..
@@NoSediment You're wright, there are Grenache white, grenache red etc. But it is admitted to be 13 grapes (for the different "families" of grapes without making difference between white and red) :)

My knees hurt just looking at those rocks in the vineyard. But I love the Rhône
Hahahah! Actually my ankles were more damaged, and the hair naturally, because of the wind. 🥹 but great, GREAT wines.
Very Nice!
🍷
Thank you for the excellent information before our Christmas holiday in Avignon 2022.
Cheers and thank You! I hope You have a great time, sound very joyous! ✨🍾🥂
I love Chateaneuf du pape. I have lots of them in my collection.
🤞🤞🤞 And hopefully they stay there. 😉 I have found that I cannot keep them in my cellar long enough. Because these wines are so approachable in their youth I somehow keep opening the bottles meant for ageing. 🤷♀️
@@NoSediment yes same for me. Thats so great they taste delicous young yet the best age quite well.
Hello Agnese
Enjoyed your Chateauneuf video. You asked about some of our favorites… mine: Domaine du Pagau. Now that I learned to trust your “favorites”… will seek out L’Oratoire.
Again, many thanks… and keep up the great show!!
Thank You! 🥂 Pegau has been already mentioned here, so that means I must try to get my hands on some of these bottles! Thank You for suggesting! 🍷
Excellent video Agnese I learnt a lot thanks 😊 👍.
Thank You, I appreciate it!🥂🍾✨
Thanks, Agnes. Is Plan Pegau to be considered under the umbrella of Du Pape? I am eh very new to French wine...
I really like my friend's video, thank you friend, I've been listening and watching the contents of the video friend, thank you very much for wanting to be my best friend, have a nice day❤❤🧡
Great Video! I have tried all but the Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes and they were all excellent (Pegau is my favorite). I am trying to learn more about Barolo, so I will be watching. Thanks.

That's my aim to try a Chateau neuf de pap wine
I hope You get a chance soon enough’ 🍷
Chateau la Gardine est mon préféré.
🙌🙌🙌🍷
What types if Meats/dishes go well with this wine ?
I actually don’t pay too much attention to the wine-food pairing, as each of us can perceive it differently. But I would go for some stew, lamb or even aged steak! 🙌
I didn't know that about the Pope living in France! That's interesting. How would a Chateauneuf du Pape red compare to a Gigondas?
Some call it the little brother appellation of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, yet I think it can really offer a great bargain, especially if You know the TOP producers! 💪
The pope's palace in Avignon is the biggest Gothic monument in Europe !
7 consecutive popes were based in Avignon,, it was the center of the roman catholic church.. avignon and sourrounding area.. beautiful
i love rhone whites... floral and complex.. and like all rhone wines , great value and they dont over manipulate their wines.
To be honest I only recently truly fell in love with Rhone wines (whites I liked for a while though), and I agree with You. Majority of them offer great value! 🍷
So, when will you start learning how to pronounce the name?🤭
I once drank a bottle of the red one. It's fantastic!
There are 13 grapes in the CDP, not 18 : )
