Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, La Crau, 2015

$160.00

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe’s La Crau 2015 comes from the estate’s prime plateau, where galets roulés, limestone and weathered clay create a powerful foundation for Grenache blends. The Brunier family farms these venerable vines with fine-tuned precision, ensuring that each parcel gives its fullest expression with minimal distractions.

The 2015 unfolds with vivid red and black fruit of cherry, blackberry, and fig, accompanied by licorice, dried herbs and a refined smokiness. On the palate the wine is robus, with tannins that are firm and structured, and acidity that keeps the fruit clear and energetic. The finish is enduring and carries a distinctive stony imprint from the site. This is a finely made Châteauneuf-du-Pape with the concentration to age.

Varietal: Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault
Appellation: Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau, Southern Rhône, France
Farming: Traditional, meticulous vineyard management
Style: Red. Concentrated, structured and site-specific
