2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge “l’Accent de la Roquète”
Domaine la Roquète
A suave Châteauneuf, La Roquète is to Châteauneuf-du-Pape what Les Amoureuses is to Chambolle Musigny, what Charmes is to Meursault. For stoniness and power, go to Vieux Télégraphe. At La Roquète, you are moved by its unusual elegance. I imagine a handsome chevalier on a prancing stallion.

About The Producer
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
One cannot think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe. The Brunier family is legendary in its own right, having been rooted to the plateau known as La Crau for over a century. The wines of Vieux Télégraphe evoke terroir in its purest form, reflecting the dramatic climate, the rough terrain, the sun exposure at a high altitude, the typicity of the varietals, and of course, the influence of their caretakers, the Brunier family. For many, La Crau is Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s grandest cru. The wines of V.T. are classic, displaying strength, rusticity, and tremendous longevity. Their goal is to find a harmony between aromatic complexity, tannic structure, and richness, which they achieve year after year.
