Domaine Roger Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Vieilles Vignes 2000

Domaine Roger Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Vieilles Vignes 2000 is a mature, distinguished expression of one of the Rhône Valley’s most celebrated appellations. Made from old-vine fruit and representing the domaine’s top cuvée, it combines the richness and power of southern Rhône with remarkable complexity developed over more than two decades in bottle. Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s long-standing reputation dates back to the papal era, when the area’s wines began to gain recognition for their depth and longevity.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a deep, mature colour, characteristic of a concentrated Châteauneuf-du-Pape with significant bottle age. Its expressive bouquet reveals black cherries, ripe blackberries and kirsch alongside leather, pepper, warm spices and earthy undertones. Notes of garrigue—sun-warmed Mediterranean herbs—add an unmistakable southern Rhône character. Full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it has developed silky tannins and impressive depth while retaining lively mature fruit. Dark berries, spice and warm Mediterranean nuances unfold gradually, leading to a long, persistent finish marked by balance, elegance and savoury complexity. At more than 20 years of age, it is ready to enjoy now, with further short-term development possible if it has been carefully stored.

Production
The blend brings together classic southern Rhône varieties—Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre—sourced from old vines. The warm, traditionally stony terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape helps provide concentration and ripe fruit, while the domaine’s Réserve des Vieilles Vignes selection gives the wine additional depth and structure. Specific details regarding harvesting and vinification are not provided, but the wine’s style reflects the appellation’s hallmark combination of generous fruit, spice and savoury Mediterranean character.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly below room temperature, ideally at 16–18°C. Decant for around 30–60 minutes to allow the mature aromas to open, while tasting regularly to preserve its delicacy. Its depth and savoury character make it an excellent partner for roast lamb, beef stew, game, braised meats, duck, mature hard cheeses and dishes flavoured with rosemary, thyme or black pepper.
