The flagship white from one of the fine wine world’s true greats.
Still known by many as “Le Crau”, after the lieu-dit where the old vines lie, the Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a masterpiece painted with Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Matured in oak for around a year, it’s always one of the most consistent and best value examples of Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc available. As you can see from the scores above, this vintage has clearly impressed the critics. This wine displays the distinctive floral aromas that define the style of the domaine. With enticing notes of jasmine, orange blossom, wildflowers, pear, yeasty bread, crushed rocks, liquorice, lemon curd and bruised apples, this wine is perfect to pair with rabbit, ratatouille, gnocchi with pesto, grilled fish or buttery asparagus dishes.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, run by the Brunier family, are world-renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape producers. As one of the oldest and greatest estates in this famous wine region, their bottles are nothing short of legendary. It all started in 1891 when Henri Brunier gifted his son Hippolyte a few plots of land on the commanding La Crau plateau. It was an unusual present, as the land was seen by most as being impossible to cultivate because of all the pebbles. But Hippolyte persevered and the rest is history. The name comes from the fact that this site was where the inventor of the optical telegraph, Claude Chappe, built one of his semaphore signal towers in 1821. The Brunier family also make stunning Marc du Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas at Domaine Les Pallières, Ventoux under the Mégaphone label, Le Pigeoulet in Vaucluse and Massaya wines in Lebanon; all with the same loving care and attention.
