Sappy black fruit and wild herbs show the depth of old vines. Rich raspberry compote mingles with smoky minerals and Mediterranean garrigue. Well-integrated tannins provide structure without weight. Classic expression that's drinking beautifully now.

Le Vieux Donjon

A family estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape producing serious, age-worthy reds built around old-vine Grenache, alongside a small-production white. Consistent across vintages, understated in profile, reliable at the top of the appellation.
