Fantastic blind tasting. 94 points for a 20 buck wine is mind blowing and dont let anyone dismiss this just as grade inflation! Cairanne QPR is phenomenal. Fully deserved that it got it's own AOC label, the identity should help the producers build brand and reputation. More sales, more investment, better products (hopefully).

I was quite shocked, excellent wine. Blind tasting takes a lot of bias out
@ThundermansThunder Жыл бұрын
@@drmatthewhorkey This is what I admire most about you, just finding the wine that honestly tastes the best, in affordable prices, for most people. Bias does seem to be a giant obstacle, when trying to find wines that taste good, versus wines "with good taste," to borrow a line from an old tuna fish commercial. I am not one to just randomly subscribe to channels. I like to see what people are about, before I subscribe, and have been watching yours, as I have the chance, the past few days, so I'm subbing now.

Another informative video, thank you Dr. Matt. I haven't tried these wines, but certainly will seek them out. I'm curious about the significance of crest on some bottles. When I hear some refer to Cotes du Rhone it brings me back to the South African marketing genius with Goats Do Roam.

You can find several value gems among the wines of southern Rhone. Some 'Village' wines offer really good value and among the Cru's there are still some real bargains to be had. Unfortunately Gigondas has gone through the roof as of lately, but look for the lesser known Cru's like Cairanne, Lirac, Rasteau, Beaume de Venise and Vacquerays. Most of the wines are good quality and you will often find wines that are exceptional quality - at less than half the price of comparable CDPs.

I tasted Domaine Fond Croze after a recommendation from Bob Paulinski, I am always impressed by those blends and how well they can integrate the high alcohol levels found in these hotter climates. Very affordable as well for the quality, I think I paid in the low to mid 20s, similar to the Cru Bourgeois you find in Bordeaux, it seems to be the perfect sweet spot for quality per $ spent.

Love to see you doing some videos focusing on other areas of CdR, I haven't come across a lot of Cairanne in my area. But still great to learn more about this area. For me personally one area I've had some pretty good luck in getting nice CdR at decent prices is Beaumes de Venise.

Thanks Matthew - I love CdP but can't indulge in it often. I've enjoyed some Cote du Rhone wines that were nice - and relatively inexpensive - but not in the same league as a good CdP. I'll look for that Dom. de la Presidente: sounds like the answer to a poor man's prayers.

As a fellow CDP lover, I wonder what style of CDP you are comparing these to, considering CDP producers can be quite diverse in terms of blend mix and amount of fruit versus spicy earthy tones. I guess it would be fair to compare to similar price range CDPs, since there are a few within the $20-40 price range that’s decent.

Very good call, I was referring to the concentration and vibrancy of CdPs

I like all southern Rhone wines and some of the best appellations besides Chateauneuf du pape and Gigondas is Cairanne and Rasteau. I especially like Domaine Alary from Cairanne. I have some of their wines in my cellar. I like fond de Estevanasmost. 50% Syrah and 50 Grenache. It's an amazing value. I tasted the 2019 recently. A really great wine.

Alary was supposed to be in the tasting but there were some problems getting the wines to me
