"For decades, the small Domaine Le Vieux Donjon has been one of the most consistently outstanding producers of classically wrought Châteauneuf-du-Pape."
Josh Raynolds, Vinous
LE VIEUX DONJON →
"This family run estate fashions one of the most traditional, Provençal, and age-worthy Châteauneuf-du-Papes in the appellation.
Today the wines are made by Claire Michel with assistance from Philippe Cambie, and her classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape is always a rough blend of 75% Grenache, 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and the rest Cinsault. The grapes are partially destemmed and aging occurs all in older foudreThis is a no-nonsense estate and the wines are outstanding in just about every vintage."
Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
LE VIEUX DONJON
CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE 2020
75% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault; an assemblage of several parcels including Mont-Redon (Grenache), Les Cabrières (Grenache), and Les Pialons (Syrah); the Grenache vines average 85-95+ years in age
‣ "This beauty just about jumps out of the glass with its Provençal aromatics of ripe cherries, ground pepper, saddle leather, garrigue, and spice. These carry to a medium- to full-bodied wine that has the vintage’s charming, pure character front and center yet still brings good mid-palate density and ripe tannins. Buy a case, count yourself lucky, and enjoy bottles any time over the coming 10-15 years."

‣ "Excellent depth of black fruits, and Mediterranean herb aromas dominate. Then the concentrated and very structured palate sweeps you away in a gentle and sensual way. Wonderful interplay of ripeness and expertly crafted fine tannins through a long, elegant finish."

"One of the finest, but least-known, of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's top estates ..."
