2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “La Crau”

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

Good, solid Beaumes-de-Venise is a great thing. A unique and rustic Vacqueyras? Fantastic. But a Vieux Télégraphe from the famed La Crau plateau...that’s about as good as it gets. It’s in a league of its own: noble, soulful, absolutely elegant. ’Nuff said.

**Extremely limited quantities, limit one bottle per order**
