Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-Du-Pape - Magnum 1,5L, 2022

Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the benchmark wines of the southern Rhône, prized for its purity, depth, and classic expression of the appellation. In magnum format, the 2022 vintage offers an especially attractive way to enjoy the wine’s balance, structure, and long aging potential.

Tasting Notes
The wine typically shows a deep garnet colour with vibrant youthful clarity. On the nose, expect a layered bouquet of ripe red and dark berries, Provençal herbs, spice, and subtle earthy notes, all framed by a distinctly Rhône warmth and mineral edge. On the palate, it is usually broad and supple, with generous fruit, fine tannins, and a well-judged sense of freshness that keeps the wine energetic despite its power. The magnum format should support graceful development over time, with the 2022 vintage likely rewarding cellaring for many years.

Production

Food & Serving
