2020 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
$76.00
Partially destemmed, fermented in concrete vats, and matured in large oak foudres, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers a decidedly composed expression of the appellation.
Ripe cherry and raspberry meet darker fruit, Provençal herbs, and garrigue, with finely judged touches of ground pepper, saddle leather, and black tea. Chalky, structured tannins lend distinction, while the finish is long, vibrant, and impeccably poised.
This wine is offered from a private cellar, Terms and Conditions for Private Cellars apply.
