2021 Châteauneuf du Pape - Le Vieux Donjon

La Revue du Vin de France(October 2023) - 98

This grand classicism is superb in the dégage d'emblée une classe folle. A chateauneuf-du-pape race, d'une évidante harmony, jamais ostentatoire. Légèrement sur la retenue with son cœr de bouche serré mais pas dur car autour de ce noyau solid, son fruit possède un équilibre souverain. Doté d'un pure fruit, the aura besoin de ses nuances car sa matière est comme sculptée en profondeur. The mountain progresses in the green, it relaxes, and it is affine. NC

This beautiful, classic wine exudes incredible class from the start. A racy Chateauneuf-du-Pape, of obvious harmony, never ostentatious. It is slightly reserved with its tight but not hard corner of the mouth, because around this solid core its fruit has a sovereign balance. Equipped with a pure fruit, it will need its nuances because its matter is shaped as if in depth. It rises gradually in the glass, relaxes and then refines. NC
