品飲筆記：酒液呈淡金色，香氣溫暖而層次豐富，白花與成熟的核果、熱帶果香先出，伴隨蜂蜜感與一抹杏仁皮的苦甜。口感飽滿圓潤，中段有絲滑的酵母與礦物支撐，酸度明亮帶動整體節奏，尾韻悠長並帶香料餘味。
酒莊小記：此酒來自 Le Vieux Donjon，家族經營，重視田間管理與低產量收成，釀酒風格傾向平衡與優雅而非過度修飾。
釀造手法：採收注重果實風味與成熟度，入桶後以不銹鋼及舊橡木混合發酵與熟成，並在瓶前保留適度的澱粉接觸以增添奶油感與口感厚度，整體處理讓果香清晰、質地豐滿。
葡萄園環境：葡萄藤多為成熟老藤，生長在典型的教皇新堡石礫與深層礦質土壤上，日照充足且植株管理精細，產量受控以集中風味。適飲期可延展至2040年前後。建議醒酒約45分鐘，能把香氣與口感完全打開。
Tasting note: Golden straw in the glass with an expressive nose of white blossoms, ripe stone fruit, and a honeyed, slightly nutty thread. Citrus zest and a saline mineral lift keep the profile lively while a plush, rounded mid-palate gives weight and richness. The finish is long and gently spicy.
Producer notes: Crafted by the Michel family at Le Vieux Donjon, this Châteauneuf blanc reflects a measured, traditional approach — low yields, meticulous vineyard selection and careful handling in cellar.
Winemaking notes: Grapes are picked with attention to freshness and aromatic finesse. Fermentation and ageing include a mix of inert vessels and older oak to preserve fruit while adding texture and subtle complexity; lees contact contributes creaminess without heaviness.
Vineyard notes: Vines sit on the warm, stony slopes of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with good sun exposure and soils that combine large pebbles and deeper pockets of mineral-rich earth. Mature vines and attentive canopy work help produce concentrated, balanced grapes. Drinking window: 2020–2040.
