Full-bodied with fine tannins. Succulent and well composed. There’s elegance here, yet it has character and structure. Seductive and flavorful with a long finish.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck — 92–94 Points (Barrel Sample)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape will be beautiful, with a charming, soft, supple, forward style. Ripe red and black fruits, peppery herbs, and lavender notes all define the bouquet, and it hits the palate with medium-to-full-bodied richness, a layered, elegant mouthfeel, and sweet tannins. Based on 75% Grenache, 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and the rest Cinsault — 50% destemmed and raised entirely in foudre. It’s clearly outstanding and another classic release from this brilliant estate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout Le Vieux Donjon\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLe Vieux Donjon is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most celebrated and consistent family estates, owned and farmed by the Michel family for generations. The domaine takes its name from the ancient papal tower — the “old dungeon” — that overlooks their vineyards in the heart of the appellation. Farming organically on the iconic galets roulés — the large rounded stones that retain heat and reflect sunlight onto the vines — Le Vieux Donjon produces Grenache-dominant blends of extraordinary depth, complexity, and age-worthiness. The estate is widely regarded as a benchmark Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer, consistently earning top scores from the world’s leading critics vintage after vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.skurnik.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/la-vieux-donjon-2.jpg\" class=\"sFlh5c FyHeAf iPVvYb\" style=\"max-width: 336px; width: 336px; height: 371px; margin: 0px;\" alt=\"La Vieux Donjon - Skurnik Wines \u0026amp; Spirits\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoasted lamb, duck confit, wild boar, herb-crusted beef tenderloin, truffle dishes, aged Comté, and Provençal stews.
