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.

Tasting Notes

The nose is expressive with lemon, apricot, pear, honey, white flowers and a hint of beeswax. The palate combines honeyed stone fruits and candied citrus with brioche, hazelnut and almond. Crushed mineral notes and subtle salinity bring focus, finishing long, refined and balanced.

Vinification

Sourced from a single parcel of 55 year old vines on the stony Plateau de la Crau, this wine is fermented and aged on its lees in a mixture of barriques, demi-muids, and 30hl foudres, adding depth and complexity.
