Domaine Vieux Donjon, located in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is one of the appellation's most famous producers. The vines, grown on stony, well-exposed soils, benefit from the region's warm, dry climate. The blend of traditional grape varieties (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) produces a rich, spicy wine with aromas of red and black fruit, garrigue and liquorice. On the palate, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape is concentrated, with supple tannins and a lovely freshness that perfectly balances its power. Jancis Robinson : 17/20 ; James Suckling : 94/100 ; Antonio Galloni : 93/100.

Technique

Viticulture

Created between the two world wars, the Vieux Donjon estate, owned by the Michel family, cultivates its vines using sustainable farming methods. In Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it covers 10 hectares on a plateau of rounded pebbles offering a commanding view of the town, while an additional 5 hectares are spread over sandy soils to the south of the village, bringing diversity and richness to the terroir.

Oenology

The winemakers produce their wines using traditional winemaking methods, without the use of new wood. The grapes are destemmed before undergoing long fermentation, then aged in casks.
