Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieux Télégraphe 2021 Vignobles Brunier - Rhône Valley Red C02

One cannot think of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the most celebrated cru of the Southern Rhone, without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe. The Brunier family is legendary in its own right, having been rooted to the enigmatic plateau known as La Crau for over one hundred years.

The wines of Vieux Telegraphe evoke the concept of terroir in its purest form: they reflect their dramatic climate, the rough terrain that defines the soil, their full sun exposure at a higher altitude, the typicity of the varietals with an emphasis on Grenache, and of course, the influence of their caretakers, the Brunier family. For many, La Crau is Châteauneuf-du-Pape's grandest cru.

This deep purple beauty has a superb nose of black and blue fruits, peppery herbs and crushed stone accompanied by a medium-bodied palate with full-bodied, fleshy and full.

One of the most structured vintages of this cuvée and it is also perhaps one of the best to date.
