Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape ‘Piedlong’ 2021

14.5% abv

Vol- 75cl

Vieux Télégraphe is one of the most renowned estates of the Southern Rhône. Vieux Télégraphe is a large estate and there are about 45 hectares of red grapevines planted, with an average age of around 55 years. Blessed with one of the finest locations in the area, 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.

Daniel’s notes for 2021:

On the Other Plateau, that of Piedlong and its old Grenaches, discretion is also at the the nose of a beautiful Grenache on a great terroir is almost always fine, elegant elegant and even silky, as is the case here. The mouth is pure, balanced, straight, the fruits are very ripe, dominated by crushed strawberry; it is sanguine, mineral, a light a light noble vegetal note leads us to a nice finish where the tannins are perfectly perfectly integrated. A very nice Piedlong.

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).
