Because of the short crop from the 2018 vintage, the Armenier/Estevenin family chose to not make their Vieilles Vignes bottling. The result is a straight Châteauneuf-du-Pape that has benefited from all the old-vines Grenache that would otherwise have comprised its highly sought-after big brother. The 2019s here are simply gorgeous and among a handful of the best wines of the vintage. They exhibit a compelling blend of richness and energy, with fine detail and alluring perfume. While the 2019 Vieilles Vignes is definitely in the running for wine of the vintage, the regular bottling is also one of the very best of that category. From a value standpoint, it’s a killer.
