My Wine Man on Château de Vaudieu

Château de Vaudieu is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's most historic and respected family estates, farming some of the appellation's finest Grenache vines. Closerie de Vaudieu is the estate's entry-level Châteauneuf — made in the classic Southern Rhône style with old-vine Grenache leading the blend.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby. Red plum, kirsch, raspberry, garrigue herbs, white pepper and Southern Rhône spice. The palate is full-bodied with ripe tannins and a long, generous finish.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with ripe tannins. Drinking well now and through 2030. Decant 1 hour.

Food Pairing

A warm-vintage Châteauneuf-du-Pape pairs beautifully with roast lamb. We love it with Australian Boneless Lamb Leg Roast from My Meat Man — slow-roasted with rosemary, garlic and a Provençal herb crust, a magnificent match for Closerie de Vaudieu's red plum, kirsch and warm Southern Rhône spice.
