AOP Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Vielles Vignes" - 2017

"CDP Vieilles Vignes" is a blend from 10 parcels located around the winery in the lieu-dit "Palestor," north of the AOP. Villeneuve produces only one Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The vineyards are co-planted, so the blend remains consistent. Harvest begins based on Grenache ripeness. Depending on vintage conditions, the same plot may be harvested up to four times.
