Description
These days, Vieux Donjon is one of the few estates in the region making only a single cuvée (Close des Papes is another). The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape is a floral, violet-scented wine that's supple and ripe. Only medium to full-bodied, it showcases complex garrigue and licorice notes rather than oodles of red fruit and comes to a long, silky finish.

Tasting note
2017年老教堂酒莊的教皇新堡紅酒，是隆河地區釀酒藝術的典範。這款有機葡萄酒主要由歌海娜葡萄釀成，並融合了西拉、慕合懷特和桑索等品種，帶來豐富而濃郁的品酒體驗。花香和紫羅蘭的香氣交織成一曲交響樂，口感如絲絨般柔滑，帶有複雜的灌木和甘草風味。酒體中等偏濃郁，最終以長而滑順的尾韻作結。此酒在水泥缸中陳釀6個月，然後在大型橡木桶中熟成約12個月，輕度橡木桶陳釀以保留其錯綜複雜的特性。開瓶醒酒一小時，方能充分欣賞其深度，搭配鮮美的佳餚，將帶來難忘的用餐體驗。
The 2017 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a testament to the art of winemaking in the Rhone region. This organic wine, crafted from a blend dominated by Grenache, with Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault, offers a rich and intense experience. The bouquet is a symphony of floral and violet notes, while the palate is caressed by velvety, onctuous textures and a complex array of garrigue and licorice flavors. Medium to full-bodied, it culminates in a long, silky finish. Aged for 6 months in cement tanks and then for about 12 months in large oak foudres, this wine is lightly oaked to preserve its intricate character. Decant for an hour to fully appreciate its depth and pair it with robust dishes for an unforgettable meal.
