2020 vintage. Priced on the lower snd for CDP rouge. Darker fruits at play here with just enough structure to keep this from getting out of hand. Solid, workmanlike effort for the price. 01.09.25. — 14 days ago

Though I’m not enthusiastic on this producer, 1998 CdP consistently delivers magic. — 9 months ago

Adorable CdP. Quite sope power, full bodied but with a deeper aromatic layer. Nice — 10 months ago

A fresh and floral CdP. Multilayered red fruits aromas and flavors. Hints of oregano and rooibos tea. Very approachable now, but probably more complex in 2 years. — 4 years ago

2013 vintage drink late 2024. Fairly intense, medium tannins, and enough fruit. Lacked a bit of the savory, black olive characteristic that I love so much in CDP, but no real complaints here. — 22 days ago

Interestingly, this was the best-conditioned white of the night. Of course it had to be one I’m not particularly fond of, but I’m still very thankful that there wasn’t even a hint of discernible [premature] oxidation. The nose hits you with a melange of fruits ranging from pineapples to mangoes to peaches and candied orange peels, followed by notes of cream, honey, and some woody, floral nuances. On the palate, it was expectedly rich and rounded, yet still maintained some juicy energy. Finished lightly bitter with a herbaceous touch. An archetypal CDP blanc! Would be better with the right food. — 9 months ago

2000 in 2022, super nice and complex CdP — 3 years ago

For my palate, exactly where I would want an aged CdP to be. Still has fruit and grip, but with secondary elements supporting and adding complexity. Really fantastic. — 9 months ago

Breaking News: “There have been reports of the death of 2007 CdP’s. It turns out they have been greatly exaggerated.”

Double decanted and enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2007 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with powerful notes of ripe dark bramble fruit, black pepper, leather, red flowers, stony earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium, mostly integrated tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long.

This was such a fun wine to drink for many reasons. First and foremost, the company was awesome. Second, I rarely drink Guigal’s CdP as there are other producers from the region that I tend to gravitate towards. And thirdly, I have largely avoided the 2007 vintage because they seemed to be fading fast after coming out of the gate with so much flash and gusto. And yet here we are, in 2024, drinking a “humble” (yet largely traditionally made) CdP from a large(r) negociant and with a lot of air, it’s showing its true quality! Call this exhibit 2007.c.D.p. of why it’s great to have an open mind and be willing to be a life long learner. A wine of surprise for sure. Drink now with extended air and through 2032. — 5 months ago

Red fruit, earthy, leafy. Very pretty and it’s held up commendably over time. Delicate and traditional side of CDP. Tannins are still a bit underripe. — 3 years ago
