2010 年份的這款 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes釀造時由 90% 的 Grenache、5% 的 Syrah 和 5% 的 Mourvedre混釀而成。該酒呈淡寶石紅/水晶紫，層次豐富，果香濃郁，為陳釀珍藏佳品。相對于 2009 年份的同款酒來說，2010 年份的這款酒不適合過早飲用，也沒有 2009 年份的同款酒那么香甜，還需要再珍藏 5 到 6 年的時間來讓這款強健含蓄而結(jié)構(gòu)緊致有序的葡萄充分散發(fā)它的魅力。

The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes comes primarily from two sectors of Chateauneuf du Pape, La Crau and Mont Olivet. It is a dense ruby/purple color, with plenty of garrigue, lavender, black currant, black cherry, sandy, loamy soil notes along with underbrush. A quintessential wine of Provence – full-bodied, powerful, yet at the same time, elegant and very complex – it can be drunk over the next 15+ years.
