Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape

Product description

Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf du Pape has received numerous reviews of outstanding quality and taste, and ZYN is offering you this highly rated wine at a truly amazing price. The secret to the success of Le Vieux Donjon is really no secret at all. They have tremendously old vines (many in excess of 80 years of age) and they are experts at picking only once the grapes have achieved optimum ripeness.

94 Points - The Wine Advocate    Most likely even better, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape is a classic effort from this estate that could come from nowhere else than the south of France. Garrigue, lavender, pepper, sweet kirsch and blackberry-styled fruits are just some of the notions here and this medium to full-bodied, supple and nicely concentrated 2012 will benefit from short-term cellaring once released. It should have 12-15 years or ultimate longevity. Drink 2016-2027.
