Châteauneuf-du-Pape, between Orange and Avignon. The Chateau de Beaucastel white ”Vieilles Vignes” (old vines) is 3 hectares / 7 acres in size. In this case the old vines are at least 75 years old.

The outrageously good 2004 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape blanc Vieilles Vignes is monumental, with wonderful notes of litchi, marmalade, honeysuckle, huge body, but great acidity and definition. This is an amazing wine that is just sumptuous to drink now, and probably should be consumed over the near-term, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find this exquisite in 15 or 20 years.
