(Wine Advocate Score 91) Boasting silky tannins, strawberry-raspberry fruit and delicate herbal shadings, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Telegramme isn't hugely rich or concentrated, but it is harmonious and graceful. Bottled in March 2018, it's immediately approachable yet capable of providing pleasure over the next 5-7 years.

Vieux Télégraphe’s second-label Châteauneuf-duPape red, made with the grapes of young vines under 30 years old, plus older parcels not located on the Plateaux of La Crau or Piedlong.

AREA: 75 acres.

GRAPE VARIETIES: 80% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre and 4% Cinsault.

VINE AGE: 40 years on average.

VINIFICATION: grapes are hand-picked, with double sorting at the vine, then a third sorting in the winery. They are destemmed, followed by 25-30 days’ traditional fermentation in temperaturecontrolled vats. Pneumatic pressing, then systematic malolactic fermentation.

MATURATION: 15-16 months in French oak foudres (30-60 hl). Bottled without filtration or fining, released at 18 months.

ERSONALITY AND AGEING: a Châteauneufdu-Pape seriously dominated by Grenache, which confers very singular suppleness and roundness. Best savoured young.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 17°C.
