Specification

Producer

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

Vieux Télégraphe is one of the most renowned estates of the Southern Rhône. The large Domain has about 45 hectares of red grapevines planted, with an average age of around 55 years. Blessed with one of the finest locations in the area, the particularly hot microclimate is such that the Brunier Family, owners of the estate for almost a century, are able to harvest as much as a week ahead of their neighbours.

Tasting Notes

Fruit driven and expressive, it is bursting with ripe red berries and redcurrant, with hints of violet and cocoa. The soft, velvety tannins, accompanied by a subtle sucrosity unique to Grenache, create a beautifully rounded texture. Smooth with an impressive length, this is a classic Télégramme – perfect to enjoy now while you wait for “La Crau” to age.

Food Matches

Delicious with beef meatballs with a tomato ragu.

Vinification

This wine is produced from younger vines (under 30 years old) or older vines grown outside the famed Plateaux of La Crau and Piedlong. The wine is aged for 16 months in French oak foudres, resulting in a wine of purity, balance, and finesse.
