Vieux Télégraphe is one of the most renowned estates of the Southern Rhône. The large Domain has about 45 hectares of red grapevines planted, with an average age of around 55 years. Blessed with one of the finest locations in the area, the particularly hot microclimate is such that the Brunier Family, owners of the estate for almost a century, are able to harvest as much as a week ahead of their neighbours.
Joanna Simon, The Festive Red Wine Guide 2025: "Rich and intense with lustrous tannins and youthfully peppery fruit, this Châteauneuf from one of my favourite estates is already hugely satisfying but can only get better. I am still drinking my 1998s with immense pleasure – not least with roast, stuffed goose. It would also pair with game and red meat roasts and casseroles or vegetarian cassoulets."
