    Châteauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon Blanc 2009

    This relatively new offering from Lucien Michel has a wonderful purity of fruit and a long, elegant finish. A mid-weight palate of complex white peach, apricot and fig flavours is untainted by oak and is underscored by a clean acidity.

    Châteauneuf du Pape: Domaine du Père Caboche Rouge 2009

    ‘The charismatic mayor of Chateauneuf du Pape, Jean-Pierre Boisson, bottles early and makes some of the most delicious and alluring wines of the appellation. They are not meant for long-term aging, but rather to be drunk in their first 5-8 years of life.’ Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.

  • Châteauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon Rouge 2008

    Châteauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon Rouge 2008

    'The 2008 Châteauneuf du Pape is certainly a strong effort for the vintage. Classic notes of kirsch, plum, spice box, cedar, and garrigue are accompanied by deep fruit, an attractive dark ruby/plum color, and surprising body as well as depth for a 2008. It should drink well young, and evolve for up to a decade.’ Drink 2009-2019, 88-90pts. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.

  • Châteauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon Rouge 2005

    Châteauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon Rouge 2005

    As one would expect, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is formidably tannic, backward, and in need of 5-6 years of bottle age. Its dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by classic notes of sweet cherries, roasted herbs, meat juices, forest floor, and resiny underbrush. Deep, full-bodied, backward, and serious, this is a wine for patient connoisseurs. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020+. 92+

  • Châteauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon Rouge 2009

    Châteauneuf du Pape: Le Vieux Donjon Rouge 2009

    'The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is dominated by Grenache with major amounts of Mourvedre, Syrah and other authorized varietals. Its dense ruby/plum color is followed by aromas of smoked meats, roasted Provencal herbs, a gamy character and lots of kirsch, black currant and blue fruits. Rich and full-bodied, it is softer than most young vintages of Vieux Donjon tend to be, and should drink well for 12-15 years. Now that Lucien Michel has inched his way into retirement, his young daughter, Claire, who did an apprenticeship at Napa’s Harlan Estate, is in full control of the winemaking (another exa

    ‘The old-vine cuvée has a darker ruby/purple color and offers a gorgeous concoction of lush black cherries, raspberries, and loamy soil notes with some Provencal herbs and licorice. It is full-bodied, fleshy, and totally seductive and voluptuous. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.’ Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Robert M. Parker has gone on record as saying: "In spite of having an amazingly diverse taste for so many different kinds of wine, I drink more Châteauneuf du Pape than any other type of wine." Well, he’s got a point and he can probably afford it. If you read his wonderfully titled ‘Hedonists Gazette’ he certainly seems to work his way through a fair few bottles (not to mention magnums) of the ‘Cross Keyed libation’. To give credit where it is due it was Mr Parker himself who first introduced our founder Robin Yapp to the wondrous wines made at Le Vieux Donjon some 30 years ago. He pronounced them to be particularly good value and was buying them for his own cellar so it seemed churlish not to investigate. Happily, Robin managed to secure an allocation and we have been shipping the Michel family’s wines ever since.
