My first CnDP I brought out for a special occasion and wow this thing is F-ing impressive.
Really nice full body and it was just so unbelievably smooth. Not much tannins or bitterness to it, super easy to step into (and awfully more-ish).
I’m not the best at describing wine as I’m still new but this thing blew my socks off, never have I ever had a wine this nice wow wow wow

2022 Domaine Du Vieux Lazaret CnDP $55 from the local supermarket. Hopefully the photo caption covers rule #2
It’s sort of amazing that the default varietals for red wine, at least in the US, for something like a group dinner or cocktail party or short wine list are cab sauv, merlot, and Pinot noir. It’s crazy that neither barbera nor Grenache/GSM blend is one of the most universal options, because pretty much EVERYONE likes those when they try them. There’s nothing not to like!
CDP have almost never let me down
Excellent intro to CdP!
