2019 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape
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
2019年的老教堂教皇新堡酒是調和藝術的典範，展現了豐富的風味組合。酒精含量為15%，開瓶後需醒酒2小時，方能充分展現其複雜的風味。口感上，它揭示了黑色漿果、黑胡椒和濕潤泥土的層次，以及隱含於隆河地區特有的灌木叢香氣。紅色水果的甜美與成熟單寧的支撐相平衡，在長長的尾韻中，以黑櫻桃和香料的混合香氣作結。這款酒與烤紅肉、野味、成熟乳酪和濃郁燉菜等食物搭配相得益彰。
The 2019 Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a testament to the art of blending, showcasing a rich tapestry of flavors. With an alcohol content of 15%, it benefits from a 2-hour decant to fully express its complex profile. On the palate, it reveals layers of dark red berries, black pepper, and wet earth, underpinned by the distinctive garrigue of the Rhone region. The lush sweetness of red fruits is balanced by a backbone of ripe tannins, culminating in a long finish marked by dark red cherries and a melange of spices. This wine pairs exquisitely with grilled red meats, game dishes, mature cheeses, and rich stews.
