Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

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.

The bouquet shows expanisve aromas of black fruits and fresh forest, the palate full of ripeness, plums, and black fruits. A beautifully structured wine with fine integrated tannins and bags of garrigue flavours.

Enjoy with the finest cuts of red meats, lamb and even goat. Good cheese and the smellier the better!

The vines average sixty years of age and the vineyard is the hottest in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The grapes are handpicked, sorted and partially destemmed and then fermented in stainless steel tanks for between 25 - 35 days. After nine months in concrete tanks, the wine is then aged for ten months in large oak foudres. This is then bottled, without filtration, after twenty months.
