Chateau de Vaudieu Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Vieilles Roussanne white 2025

Château de Vaudieu Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Vieilles Roussannes Blanc 2025 stands among the most extraordinary white wines of the Southern Rhône. Awarded an exceptional 99 points by Jeb Dunnuck in October 2026, this prestigious cuvée rivals the region’s most celebrated white wines, including the legendary Roussanne Vieilles Vignes from Château de Beaucastel.

Produced in a remarkably limited quantity of approximately 1,500 bottles, Les Vieilles Roussannes is a rare and highly distinctive expression of pure Roussanne grown on limestone soils.
Vinified and aged for nine months in a combination of new and older oak barrels, the 2025 vintage reveals a beautiful medium-gold colour and an intensely expressive bouquet of honeyed flowers, orange blossom, poached pear and chalky minerality.

Full-bodied and luxurious on the palate, the wine displays remarkable richness, a layered texture and extraordinary mid-palate depth. Its generous concentration is complemented by aromatic complexity and a powerful, exceptionally persistent finish.
Jeb Dunnuck places this remarkable wine in direct competition with Beaucastel’s celebrated Roussanne Vieilles Vignes for the title of the finest white wine in the Rhône Valley.

With a recommended drinking window of 2026-2036, Les Vieilles Roussannes 2025 offers both immediate pleasure and outstanding ageing potential. An exceptional Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc for serious collectors and enthusiasts of the world’s finest Roussanne wines.
