The Winery

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most renowned area in the Southern Rhône and Vieux Télégraphe is one of the most impressive wineries in that region. The vineyard was planted upon the La Crau plateau (one of the highest places in the area) and the Domaine was established in 1898 by Hippolyte Brunier. The nearly 150 planted acres consist of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvédre and 5% Cinsault. Lauded for noble old vines and Papal heritage, the region is also famed for the pebbles that retain heat and continue ripening the fruit during the night. Arguably the best vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Télégraphe produces some of the smoothest, most enjoyable wines in the region.

Tasting Notes

JS96
A wine with playful, attractive character. An array of red, blue and purple fruits. Gently spicy, chalky and fragrant, it has a very supple, fleshy and layered palate with a web of fine, smooth and supple tannins. Extremely elegant and composed. A long draw on the finish. Great depth and drive. This will live super long. Try after 2020.
WS95
This has a lovely, perfumy mix of savory, mint, tobacco, blood orange, cherry and bergamot notes, with finely beaded acidity and silky but ample structure. Long, mineral- and shiso leaf–infused finish. Best from 2020 through 2035.
