Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Blanc Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-Du-Pape - Magnum 1,5L, 2023

Vieux Donjon’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc in magnum format is a refined expression of one of the Rhône Valley’s most admired white wine appellations. Blending Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc, it offers both generosity and precision, with the added appeal of excellent ageing potential thanks to the larger bottle size.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a bright golden hue with youthful reflections. The nose is layered and expressive, bringing together ripe pear, white peach, citrus blossom, fennel, and a subtle mineral note, with hints of herbs and toasted almond as it evolves. On the palate, it is broad and textural yet well balanced, combining stone fruit richness with fresh acidity and a saline, slightly waxy finish. The magnum format supports slow, graceful development, making the 2023 vintage particularly interesting for cellaring over the coming years.

Production
Sourced from the historic stony terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhône, the wine reflects warm Mediterranean conditions moderated by the region’s cooling mistral winds. The grapes are typically harvested by hand and vinified with a focus on preserving freshness and aromatic clarity, allowing the individual character of each variety to shine while maintaining the wine’s signature balance and depth.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for lobster, scallops, roast chicken, creamy risotto, or fine cheeses such as aged Comté and young goat’s cheese. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and consider brief aeration if the wine is still very youthful; decanting is not usually necessary, though a short rest in the glass can help release its aromas.
