Description

"Télégramme", Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Châteauneuf du Pape, Southern Rhone, France, 2021

Grapes: 80% Grenache - 10% Syrah - 6% Mourvèdre - 4% Cinsault. Average 40 year old vines. In vats for 10 months, then in foudres for a further 8 months. Bottled, without fining or filtration, after 18 months.

A Châteauneuf-du-Pape seriously dominated by Grenache, which confers very singular suppleness and roundness. Best savoured young.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"The plump, succulent 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Telegramme offers cheerful strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and elegant, offering plenty of near-term enjoyment. Tasted twice, with consistent notes." Drink 2023-2030

91/100 points, Joe Czerwinski, WINE ADVOCATE, September 2023

Owned by the Brunier family for more than 100 years, the wine is the second label of Vieux Télégraphe and is produced using fruit from younger vines (under 30 years old) or from older vines situated away from the Plateaux of La Crau & Piedlong.
