St Damien Cotes du Rhone Villages Plan de Dieu Vieilles Vignes 2024

Style Red
Producer Domaine Saint-Damien
Origin Cotes du Rhone, Plan de Dieu
Bottle 750ml
Caravan buyer note

From the lower terraced parcels of the Plan de Dieu lieu-dit in the commune of Violes, a blend of 80% Grenache (vines planted 1948) and 20% Mourvedre on red clay soils with stones and ancient alluvium. Organically farmed. Fermented for 30 days in concrete vats, then matured for 10 months in a mix of concrete tanks and large old 50hL oak foudres, bottled without fining or filtration. Black cherries, peppery herbs, flowers and mineral notes emerge from this broad, layered and round effort. Medium-bodied, supple and wonderfully textured, with velvety yet still-building tannins — exceptional value from one of the Southern Rhone's most consistently acclaimed estates.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.
