Le Vieux Donjon

The Domaine du Vieux Donjonowned by the Michel family for several generations, is located in the appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape.The story begins in the early 20th century, when the family sold the grapes they produced in bulk. In addition to this activity, the Michel family also made barrels. It was in the 1970s that viticulture took on greater importance, following the marriage of Lucien and Marie-José Michel. The vineyards of Vieux Donjon at the time covered 13 hectares. Today it covers 17 hectares, planted with Grenache Noir (70%), Mourvèdre (15%) and Syrah (15%) for the reds, and Roussanne (50%) and Clairette (50%) for the whites.
