Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe’s La Crau 2013 comes from the estate’s historic plateau of the same name, a landscape defined by its mix of limestone, red clay and the large, sun-warmed galets roulés that shape the style of this site. The Brunier family farms these old vines with the same traditional approach that has guided the domaine for generations, relying on Grenache as the foundation with Mourvèdre, Syrah and small amounts of Cinsault contributing structure and aromatic detail.
This vintage opens with dark cherry, blackberry and plum, layered with notes of licorice, dried herbs and a subtle earthy tone. On the palate, the wine is firm and well composed, with tannins that are still present but beginning to relax, supported by acidity that keeps the flavors clear and balanced. The finish is long and assured, reflecting both the character of La Crau and the poise of a maturing vintage. It is a thoughtful and powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape with years of development still ahead.
Varietal: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault
Appellation: Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau, Southern Rhône, France
Farming: Traditional, meticulous vineyard work
Style: Red. Structured, savory and age-worthy
