2021 Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf Du Pape Rouge

Benchmark Chateauneuf imbued with all that richness and spice and texture you should expect from the Brunier Family. Pair it with a hearty, rich beef stew. You will fall asleep quickly after dinner due to the high cozy factor of that pairing.

One cannot think of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most celebrated cru of the southern Rhône, without thinking of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe. 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 Télégraphe 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.
