2011 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “La Crau” HALF BOTTLE

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
Discount Eligible $73.00
AT CART MAX

There is no mistaking the profound depth of the 2011 Vieux Télégraphe and its fine structure, capable of extensive aging. If you’re still lucky enough to have the 2000, 1998, or 1985 vintages in your cellar—all excellent years, similar to 2011—then here is another, certain to have made founder Hippolyte Brunier proud.

**Extremely limited quantities, limit four bottles per order**

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
