A lovely tarry note initially amongst the red fruits. On the medium weight palate sweet and savoury red fruits. Love CdP from a good year like this one. 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Cinsault and the remaining 5% split between Muscardin, Counoise and Vaccarese. Completely destemmed and fruit driven. Soft pliant tannins. — a month 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. — a year 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

I just got reminded of the joy young CdP brings. Raspberries, liqueur, garrigue, crushed stones. Seamless. Great integration. — 3 months ago

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. — 5 months ago

Unctuous with velvety tannins right off the get go! So rich but not cloyingly so… acidity for balance. Best CDP I’ve had in some time. 2014 paired with grilled rib steak. — 4 years ago

Classic CdP and an iconic producer. Blackberry, dark fruits, herbs, spice, olive, earth. Full bodied, but low-to-medium tannins and great concentration. Fantastic with Mediterranean food. — 4 months 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. — 6 months ago

Nose of black tea, portobello, baked plum and soft, unctuous cherry. Kirsch-chocolate, blood orange, French roast, marigold, ferromagnesian elements. Coffee, baking chocolate, black cherry skin, cigar smoke, venison jerky, char, cassis, and vine charcoal.
