Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc 2021

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

The white Châteauneuf is made from 40% Clairette, 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc of which 1/3 is fermented in 225L barrels, 1/3 in 600L barrels and 1/3 in stainless steel. After three to four years, it develops into a rich, succulent, nutty treat reminiscent of white Hermitage.

Daniels notes for 2021:

After an uncomplicated vinification, we found ourselves faced with a very classic, discreet, white Vieux Télégraphe white, straight and balanced; even more than usual, we are not in the exuberance of fruits, far from there; it is rather citrus fruits, a touch of white flowers, lemon zest & candied lemon imprisoned in the unctuousness of this late summer. The mouth offers a superb personality, frank, full and with a good length. The Vieux Télégraphe white is scheduled for release in early 2023, the slight wood aromas not yet fully integrated have the next few months to melt and reinforce the complexity of the wine.

Vieux Telegraph is made exclusively from old vines (averaging 70 years old) all around the ‘Crau’, the finest terroir in Châteauneuf du Pape. The particularly hot microclimate is such that the Bruniers, owners of the estate for almost a century, are able to harvest as much as a week ahead of their neighbours. 65% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, Cinsault, Clairette and sundry others 5%. Maturation is 20-22 months in large French oak foudres (60hl); bottling is unfined and unfiltered, then released after 2 years.

Importantly Vieux Télégraphe does not produce a “super cuvée” so all their best fruit goes into this wine (the younger vines are used in their Télégramme).
