Producer: Vieux Chevalier is a respected negociant label producing wines from the Southern Rhône, with a particular focus on Châteauneuf-du-Pape. While not tied to a specific estate, Vieux Chevalier sources grapes from established growers across the appellation, allowing them to create a wine that represents the classic style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The blend typically favours Grenache, as is traditional in the region, supplemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre for added complexity and structure. The 2021 vintage, despite challenging weather conditions in the Rhône, showcases the skill of the winemaking team in producing a wine that balances power and elegance. Vieux Chevalier aims to offer authentic Châteauneuf-du-Pape at a more accessible price point, making it an excellent introduction to this prestigious appellation.
