A special cuvée for the American importer that includes more old-vine Grenache, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Girard delivers more perfume than the regular bottling, with roses, tea-like herbal notes, strawberries and raspberries. It's full-bodied, supple, nicely balanced, and complex, with a softly dusty finish. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
Rated 93/100 The Wine Advcoate
The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Girard is slightly more lifted and perfumed than the classic cuvée, and while I usually find the Cuvée Girard to be a step up over the base cuvée, that’s not the case in 2020. Red and blue fruits, iron, candied violets, and pepper all emerge on the nose, and this medium to full-bodied, floral, perfumed effort is going to keep for 10-12 years.
