Added to Your Favorites Added to Your Favorites

If price were no object and you were looking for a single wine that represents a sense of place, is consistently delicious year in and year out, and can be opened now or cellared for ten years, I’d recommend this one hands down. I did say if price were no object. Which, when considering all the many famous wines that are much pricier, means that you’ve got a real bargain here. It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

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.
