Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a white wine coupage of the Roussanne and Clairette varieties, produced by the Le Vieux Donjon winery, in the AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the Rhone Valley, France.

Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is made with a coupage of equal amounts of both varieties, vinified in stainless steel tanks with no malolactic fermentation. The resulting wine also ages in stainless steel tanks for a short time.

Le Vieux Donjon is made up of 18 hectares of vineyards, only one of which is used to make Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. The oldest vines are more than eighty years old and are planted in vineyards with pebble soils. These plots with old vines and low yields provide the raw material, full of concentrated aromas and flavours, that is perfect for making exceptional wines.

In the AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, white wines only account for 10% of production. Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a great way to experience the denomination’s minority whites.
