11 Days of “Slow Decanting” this classically styled Chateauneuf du Pape Le Vieux Donion is one of the more traditional estates in CdP. They make a single wine each vintage from their 14 hectares of organically farmed fruit. Grenache is the major grape with Syrah and Mourvedre in blending roles DAY 1 Served with the Vinloq System

Pardon me while I continue my summer CdP binge. It’s like Christmas in ... August. I’m having this a night after an ‘07 Beaucastel, and for me, this takes the cake. Great funk in the nose, high toned complexity especially on the front to mid-palette, incredibly long finish. For me, this is perfect CdP.

In a great place. The Syrah adds white pepper notes. Plenty of life left, but no reason to wait. Classic old school Chateauneuf and perfect with lamb on Easter.
