Vieux Télégraphe Domaine du Châteauneuf-du-Pape Télégramme 2017
From the historic Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône Valley, the Télégramme 2017 is a vibrant red blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre. Sourced from younger vines on La Crau’s galet-covered clay-limestone soils, it’s hand-harvested and aged 15–16 months in large oak foudres, offering a ruby hue with lively complexity.

The nose reveals red cherry, cassis, and raspberry, with hints of garrigue, black pepper, and graphite. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and refined, with fresh acidity, soft tannins, and flavors of red fruit, licorice, and a long, mineral finish.
