"This rock solid Minervois estate consistently produces well-made, classically styled wines that represent solid values." -- The Wine Advocate 
2011 Château du Donjon Grande Tradition Minervois...$15.99
60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Carignan

Situated in Minervois, one of the oldest wine-producing areas in the Languedoc, Château du Donjon has been in the Panis family for 500 years. Jean Panis took the reigns from his father, Guy, in 1996 and has taken the estate to new heights, with the historic 1998 vintage marking the beginning of a golden era that continues to this day.
Tasting Notes: Donjon’s Flagship bottling. Powerful primary aromas of ripe black fruit and hints of strawberry/raspberry. Very dense on the palate, with black fruit and red cherry flavors. Firm, structured and exceptionally rich.   Excellent with strong cheeses, grilled meats/vegetables, or rich poultry dishes such as duck.
