  • 2021 Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf du Pape

    En i særklasse stor Châteauneuf-du-Pape med krop, muskler og kompleksitet, som dog samtidig formår at fremstå elegant. Blendet på den røde er altid: 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault. Gennemsnitsalderen for domænets vinstokke er over 50 år, men faktisk er 33% af vinstokkene mere end 100 år gamle. De røde druer afstilkes inden vinifikationen, der foregår i traditionelle betontanke. Alle druer gærer sammen med undtagelse af Mouvèdre, som vinificeres i en tank for sig selv. Der laves i alt ca. kun 50.000 flasker vin fra Le Vieux Donjon.

    This generous and well-structured 2021 Chateauneuf has excellent raspberry and strawberry aromas for the challenging vintage, plus notes of floral aromas. Surprisingly fine tannins, too. Still very youthful and in need of a bit of time in bottle to reach ideal harmony, but the freshness at the finish is already delightful. A cuvee 75% grenache, 10% syrah, 10% mourvedre and 5% cinsault that were co-fermented, then matured in foudre. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.

    Oldenburgs Vinguide

    Også i denne årgang en mastodont blandt ligesindede, og med et imponerende samarbejde mellem meget feminine træk som mildhed, krydderi og kælen charme på den ene side û og muskler, saft og kontant garvesyre på den anden. Herlig vin, endnu alt for ung, men fuld af spændende løfter. Den udvikler sig mod bløde former i glasset, garvesyrebiddet tager lidt af, charmen stiger. Gem den roligt i 8-10 år og find det bedste kød frem.

    A classic blend of 75% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah and 5% Cinsault, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is a charming, easy-drinking effort. Marked by scents of cherries and garrigue, it's medium to full-bodied, silky, fine and classic but not great, with just a hint of dark chocolate on the finish. // The red wine matures in foudres or concrete tanks, so it also sees rather neutral aging. The wine is blended in December the year following the harvest, then put back into foudre or tank until bottling, several months later. François fra Le Vieux Donjon recalls 2021 as, "a normal summer, not too warm, not too dry. Very classical and easy, up until the end, when we had several rain episodesùthree or four." As at many estates, the 2021 red wine has turned out better than was expected when the grapes were harvested, and the 2021 Le Vieux Donjon, while it doesn't measure up to the wines from great vintages, is an excellent wine.
