Why shop with us?
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
Vieux Donjon is based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where old vines and the region’s famed galet-strewn soils contribute to wines of concentration and character. The estate is known for a traditional approach, with careful harvesting and restrained vinification designed to preserve the authenticity of the fruit and the natural balance of the vintage.
Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with lamb, beef roast, game, duck, and hearty Mediterranean dishes such as herb-crusted vegetables or ratatouille. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to खुलfully open.
Producer
