It’s a gem, and you won’t be disappointed.

Truly classic Vieux Télégraphe, deep and powerful as usual, yet showing great finesse and class, almost an ethereal quality.

There’s a gentle veil of minerality, and the nose is expansive, making way for notes that are more spiced than fruity.

This thirst-quenching, bright, and plummy red is enhanced with a little bit of chill and perfect for grillables.

Stony and smoky, and full of garrigue and black cherry, it is an epic wine that opens up wonderfully now.

If Télégramme is more about fruit than stones, it is still undeniably Châteauneuf, expressing the nobility of carefully farmed Grenache from the Rhône’s finest terroirs.

Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.

If there were a Hall of Fame for French bistro reds, Poignée would be a first-ballot inductee—vibrant and classy, it’s the southern France counterpart to our favorite Morgons.

An abundance of violets and velvet, amid a cooling sensation of a cold spring on a hot day.
