Tasting notes
A blend of 85% Grenache and the rest of Cinsault, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme offers aromas of flowers, dark cherries, and dark wild berries. This is followed by a medium, to full-bodied, structured, and concentrated palate with velvety tannins and a long, dense finish. More austere than previous vintages, this iteration stands out as a commendable rendition within the context of the vintage.

About this wine
Vieux Telegraphe is a renowned producer of Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines located in the southern Rhône Valley of France. With a long and rich history dating back to the 18th century, the estate is currently managed by brothers Daniel and Frédéric Brunier, the fifth generation of their family to do so. The vineyards of Vieux Telegraphe are situated on the famous La Crau plateau, with 65 hectares of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault planted using traditional methods without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
The flagship wine of Vieux Telegraphe is their Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault aged in large oak foudres for up to 18 months. This results in a rich and full-bodied wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earth. The estate also produces a second wine called Telegramme, made from younger vines and aged for a shorter period of time. This wine is more approachable and fruit-forward, with notes of red fruit and spice.
Vieux Telegraphe is a producer that is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike, and their wines are a true representation of the unique terroir of the southern Rhône Valley.
